What Is This Tool?

This tool allows users to convert between drachma, an ancient Biblical Greek unit of weight and silver coin measure, and gerah, the smallest standard biblical Hebrew unit of mass. It supports the interpretation of historical monetary and weight references in archaeology, numismatics, and biblical studies.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in drachma (Biblical Greek) you wish to convert.
  • Select drachma as the from-unit and gerah as the to-unit.
  • Click convert to obtain the equivalent weight expressed in gerah (Biblical Hebrew).

Key Features

  • Converts drachma (Biblical Greek) to gerah (Biblical Hebrew) using a defined conversion factor.
  • Supports weights related to ancient monetary and mass units for historical and archaeological research.
  • Browser-based and simple to use without the need for additional software.

Examples

  • 2 drachma converts to approximately 11.93 gerah.
  • 0.5 drachma converts to approximately 2.98 gerah.

Common Use Cases

  • Estimating silver mass in Hellenistic or Biblical-era coinage for historical studies.
  • Translating ancient Greek weight references into biblical Hebrew units to assist in biblical economic interpretation.
