What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert weight measures from the drachma, an ancient unit of silver weight and coinage used in Biblical Greek contexts, to the pound as defined in the troy or apothecary system, which is a historical unit of mass still relevant in certain fields like numismatics and pharmaceutical history.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the quantity in drachma (Biblical Greek) that you wish to convert
  • Select drachma as the input unit and pound (troy or apothecary) as the output unit
  • Click on the convert button to see the equivalent weight in troy/apothecary pounds
  • Use the conversion result to analyze historical or archaeological data
  • Refer to provided examples to understand the conversion scale

Key Features

  • Converts drachma (Biblical Greek) to pound (troy or apothecary) based on historical weight definitions
  • Supports evaluation of ancient precious metal weights and coinage mass
  • Includes a direct conversion formula for quick calculation
  • Ideal for numismatic, archaeological, and historical economic research
  • Browser-based and simple interface for ease of use

Examples

  • 10 drachma (Biblical Greek) converts to approximately 0.0911 pound (troy or apothecary)
  • 50 drachma (Biblical Greek) converts to approximately 0.4555 pound (troy or apothecary)

Common Use Cases

  • Estimating silver mass in Biblical or Hellenistic silver coins for numismatic cataloging
  • Converting ancient textual references of drachmae into weight units usable in modern research
  • Analyzing historical apothecary prescriptions or precious metal records noted in troy pounds
  • Contextualizing coin finds and bullion records in museum and archaeological collections

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always consider the regional and historical variation when interpreting drachma weights
  • Use this tool for comparative and historical study rather than precise modern measurements
  • Cross-reference conversion results with archaeological or numismatic sources
  • Understand the historical context of both units to better interpret data
  • Account for the troy pound's obsolescence in modern measurements

Limitations

  • Drachma weight varies between approximately 4.0 and 4.5 grams depending on period and location
  • Troy pound is now obsolete and mainly used for historical or collector reference
  • Conversion assumes standard drachma weight and fixed troy pound mass which may introduce inaccuracies in specific contexts
