A talent signifies a given amount of money, based on things like the weight of the material. It is not an actual coin. It could be used in the game though, I guess

And that's the problem. I want to express a significant amount of money, but then again, I am trying to aim for histroical accuracy here. How large of a sum is the denarius in 218 BC? Relatively?

It's almost impossible to convert the value of ancient coins to a modern amount. The average daily wage of a common worker in the Republican era would have been about one denarius.
If you really want to be picky about historical accuracy, you should probably also know that the first denarius was struck in 211 BC.

Lol... 211 BC :). Doesn't make it easier. Ok then. In your opinion, could I use talents and not be too out of line?

I think it would be a fair choice, at least it will transcend nationalities. There were different kinds of talents (Greek, Roman etc), but you can ignore that. To give you an indication of value, the satrapies of the Persian Empire paid the King an annual tribute of 200 up to 1000 (Euboian) talents, depending on their wealth. The Athenians paid 2000 (Attic) talents for the construction of the Periclean Acropolis. Quite similar to the amounts EU2 uses actually.
