Paul you are right in your own way but of course we know other coins were around (greek Etruscan?) so they might be circulated at the time. I read somewhere that the production of the roman coins started in326 BC but will have to find the reference. of course that using asses for Tullius age is an anachronism

Bryan a very short summary here:

On roman coins quite a good page is here:
