The records show with sufficient accuracy mine production figures, that in the 2nd century BC were more than nine million denarii annually, while the spoils of war during the same period, were never more than a little more than a third of this amount.
As crónicas expresan con bastante fidelidade as cifras da produción mineira, que xa no século II a. C. eran de máis de nove millóns de denarios anuais, mentres os botíns de guerra do mesmo período nunca foron en total superiores a pouco máis da terceira parte desta cifra.
