What is a denarius (Biblical Roman)?

It was a Roman silver coin used in the late Republic and early Empire, treated as an approximate mass reference of around 3.5 to 4 grams of silver per coin in 1st-century biblical contexts.

What is a ton (long) [ton (UK)]?

The long ton or Imperial ton is a British imperial mass unit equal to 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016 kg, historically used for shipping and bulk commodity measurements.

Why use this converter?

It helps translate ancient monetary reference weights into recognized imperial mass units, useful for historical, archaeological, and maritime trade studies.

Is the conversion precise?

Conversions are approximate due to variations in coin mass and the legacy nature of the ton (long) unit.

1000 Denarius is equal to about 0.00378919513 Ton (long) [ton (UK)].

Common Use Cases

Translating New Testament references of wages in denarius into approximate silver mass in long tons.
Estimating silver content of Roman coins in numismatic and archaeological research.
Comparing historical wages and prices using standard imperial units in economic studies.
Converting historical maritime shipping records and bulk commodity weights from imperial tons.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter for approximate translations of ancient coin weights, not precise scientific measurements.
Consider historical variations in denarius mass due to minting changes when interpreting results.
Cross-reference converted weights with historical context for improved accuracy in studies.
Use the tool primarily for research, numismatic, or historical economic applications.

Limitations

Mass of the denarius coin is variable and affected by historical debasements, so conversions are approximate.
Ton (long) is a legacy imperial unit not commonly used in modern mass measurements.
Precision is limited due to converting between a fluctuating historic coin weight and a standardized large unit.
