Problem isn't from quoting other posts, it's from copying and pasting from internet. It comes up in weird font and size.

Siege of Veii is often quoted as first instance of formal stipendum. What form of currency were they paid in?

Not sure what you are asking here, Bryan. There are a number of fairly modern texts that give histories of Roman numismatics, and I drew on several in composing my post, e.g. "Roman Coins" H.Mattingly ( reprint 1962) Methuen & co; "Roman Silver Coins" vol 1 Seaby; The "Oxford Handbook of Greek and Roman coinage" and many others, and also online sources readily found using Google. Be aware that many are written with coin collectors in mind, but those specified cover the history as well.
