Plural of Aureus

I was looking through the article and noticed that the plural of Aureus was given as "aurei". I thought that this word used "aurea" as the plural. Could one of the Latin scholars in the group comment on the correct pluralization? Thanks! Bdevoe ( talk) 18:10, 2 April 2009 (UTC) reply

I would say it should be "aurea", but my Latin is rudimentary. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk | Sign 22:36, 8 August 2009 (UTC) reply
I'm not a student of Latin, but Wiktionary says it's first declension masculine with plural aureī. The neuter is aureum with plural aurea, which is probably what you guys were thinking of. SamuelRiv ( talk) 14:45, 14 August 2015 (UTC) reply

2020 value of J. Caesar aureus

For the 8.18 grams of gold we quote, the gold value would be about $473, at $59.12 per gram. The actual coin, of course, would be worth considerably more.... -- Pete Tillman ( talk) 18:40, 5 December 2020 (UTC) reply
