Currency The Hittites trade solely in silver. As such, foreign currency in bronze and gold is of no use to them. The silver pieces of currency are in the form of 'pieces' (flat and thin ovals similar to coins), 'rings' (thick hoops of silver that can be worn on a grown male's thumb) and 'bars' (trapezoid bars of silver about ten inches long and three wide). The 'pieces' are called shekels. Rings and bars have no specific name besides their value in shekel pieces.

Occupations The occupations of Hattusa are as diverse as the people who fill them. There is simple employment in labour like ditch digging, quarrying and sandal-repair to more specialised trades of oil making, leatherwork, jewellery creation and silk-weaving. There are also political roles within the government, from the more subtle work of scribes and messengers to more action-orientated roles like sailing and soldiering. There are a thousand and one professions for a Hittite character to call their own.
