Wallet
A purse (Latin: crumina or crumena) is an ancient Roman type of purse - a cloth or leather pouch for storing coins and jewelry. All the one-piece purses found are made of leather, but there may have been variations made of cloth. Many pieces of cloth have been found in Egypt and Judea, but none of them are preserved well enough to be able to identify it as a purse.
Men and women of all classes could use bags and bags. And not only within the Roman civilization-this subject of everyday life was known in Greece, and in other ancient civilizations.
The closest item in terms of use and structure is saccus, which could also be used to store coins and other savings.
