The tesserae numularia are small rods of bone or ivory, between 3 and 10 cm long, which consist of a rectangular parallelepiped body and ahead the shape of which varies from one period to another. We do not know their Latin name; they are called tesserae numularia because of the research of Herzog (1919), who concluded that they had been attached to sealed sacks of coins.
