Dupondius

or Dupondium. A coin of two asses, struck after the reduction of the weight of the as. (See As.) It was in use under the Empire, when it was the weight of half an ounce (Marquardt, Röm. Staatsverw. ii. pp. 8, 11). As the Romans applied the uncial division of the as to the foot, dupondium also signified two feet (Colum. iii. 15.2).
