''Nomisma'' ((ギリシア語:νόμισμα)) was the ancient Greek word for "money" and is derived from nomos (νόμος) ''"anything assigned, a usage, custom, law, ordinance"''.〔The King James Version New Testament Greek Lexicon; Strong's Number:3546〕 #: ''"....but money has become by convention a sort of representative of demand; and this is why it has the name 'money' (nomisma)-because it exists not by nature but by law (nomos) and it is in our power to change it and make it useless."'' Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics (1 ).〔Aristotle 350 B.C.E., book 5〕 In modern Greek, the word ''nomisma'' means "currency",〔Greek-English Lexicon〕 It is also a term used by numismatists when referring to the ''pieces of money or coin'' in the ''plural'' nomismata an example of which is the Aes rude of Numa Pompilius (the 2nd King of Rome).〔Pliny the Elder 77 A.C.E., book 34〕 ==See also== *Aristotle *Numismatics *Roman Republican coinage 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nomisma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
