One historian has given the following description of the economy of the Roman Empire in the third century under the emperor​ Dio

cletian: The coinage had become so debased as to be virtually worthless.​ Diocletian's attempt to reissue good gold and silver coins failed because there simply was not enough gold and silver available to restore confidence in the currency. ...Diocletian finally accepted the ruin of the money economy and revised the tax system so that it was based on payments in kind. The soldiers too came to be paid in kind. ​Source: Ralph​ W.Mathisen, "Diocletian," An Online Encyclopedia of Roman Emperors​, ​www.romanemperors.org/dioclet.htm. What does it mean to say that the coinage had become​ debased?

Answer:

The answer to the question: What does it mean to say that the coinage had become debased, would be: that literally, the value of the coins was nil as the amount of gold, or silver, present in them, was almost nonexistent, being replaced by worthless metals. It means that if anyone was paid using these coins, they would not get the real worth of what they were being paid for, as the coin used had no value.

Explanation:

When talking about money, and especially in ancient times when things were paid with actual coins made out of precious metals like gold, or silver, we are talking about the fact that these coins were worth something because of the metals used to produce them. During Diocletian´s time, because of the little availability of these precious metals, the worth of the coins used to pay for services and for goods, was nule. When money, or currency, has that problem, there is nothing to back it up, and justify its worth, then it is called a debasement of coinage.

Explanation:

1. Manifest destiny was a widely held cultural belief in the 19th-century United States that American settlers were destined to expand across North America.

2. The philosophy drove 19th-century U.S. territorial expansion and was used to justify the forced removal of Native Americans and other groups from their homes.

3. The rapid expansion of the United States intensified the issue of slavery as new states were added to the Union, leading to the outbreak of the Civil War.

4.  Territorial expansion over the first half of the 19th century resulted not only in war with Mexico, but in the dislocation and brutal mistreatment of Native Americans.
