The Romans issued their coins in gold, silver or bronze. Augustus's reform of 23 AD changed the metal of the as form bronze to copper. This was the only copper coin. You ask about a far too long period, 177 years. Currency values fluctuate all the time, so you cannot expect them to be the same over 177 years. Moreover, the Roman monetary system was reformed several times during this period. Some coins could be dropped and new one could be introduced and the value of coins was restructured. The reforms were:
Reform of Caracalla, 215 AD
Reform of Aurelian, 272-75 AD
Reform of Dicletian, 300 AD
Reform of Constantine, 310 AD
The general trend was one of debasement (reduction in precious metal content of purity of metal)of the coins, which is similar to what we now call devaluation.
If you as asking about the present day value of the coin, there are many factors that determine a coin's worth. Some of them are its condition, clarity of it's inscriptions, the metal content, and its age. Only a reputable coin dealer can give you a proper answer.
