Augusto Cataldi, Dissertatio ad legem secundam codicis De veteris numismatis potestate, Lib. XI, Tit. 10, Typographia Mugnoz, Romae 1869, pp. 51, fine woodcut heraldic coat of arms of Pius IX on the frontispiece, 29 cm, br. silent coeval.

A learned numismatic dissertation by Augusto Cataldi, a lawyer of the Sacred Consistory, conceived as a high-profile academic exercise in the fields of public law and monetary economics. The work, dedicated to Pius IX, is part of the most authoritative Roman-Pontifical tradition of monetary studies. Starting from an interpretation of Lex II of the Justinian Code, "De veteris numismatis potestate," the author approaches the fundamental question of monetary value with rigorous systematic method, investigating the relationship between the intrinsic value of metal and the legal value assigned by public authority. Through a broad review of classical sources, from Aristotle to Roman law, and a detailed historical reconstruction of the Greek and Roman monetary systems (aes, denarius, aureus, solidus), Cataldi analyzes the evolution of money over time, focusing on the legal consequences of variations in weight, fineness, and value.
