Sebelum zaman [[Julius Caesar]], aureus jarang ditempah dan biasanya hanya untuk bayaran besar daripada harta rampasan. Caesar lebih kerap menempah duit syiling dan memiawaikan beratnya pada <math>\tfrac{1}{40}</math> [[paun Roman]] (k.k. 8 [[gram]]). Jisim aureus dikurangkan kepada w<math>\tfrac{1}{45}</math> paun (7.3 g) semasa pemerintahan [[Nero]].

Bagaimanapun, tanpa mengira saiz atau berat, ketulenan duit syiling aureus tidak banyak terjejas. Analisis auera Rom menunjukkan aras ketulenan yang biasa melebihi 99%, berbanding dengan 91.7% (22 [[Karat (ketulenan)|karat]]) untuk [[duit syiling berdaulat British]] dan 90% untuk [[dolar emas]] [[Amerika Syarikat]].
However, regardless of the ''size'' or ''weight'' of the aureus, the coin's purity was little affected. Analysis of the Roman aureus shows the purity level usually to have been in excess of 99%, compared to 91.7% (22 [[Carat (purity)|carat]]) for the British [[British sovereign coin|sovereign]] and the 90% for the US [[gold dollar]].
 
Due to runaway inflation caused by the Roman government issuing base-metal coinage but refusing to accept anything other than silver or gold for tax payments, the value of the gold aureus in relation to denarii grew drastically. Inflation was also affected by the systematic debasement of the silver [[denarius]] which by the mid-third century had practically no silver left in it.
