What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms weight values from the ancient drachma, used in Biblical Greek and Hellenistic regions, into the apothecary scruple, a historical mass unit predominantly used in pharmacy. It helps bridge the understanding between ancient coin weights and pharmaceutical measures.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the weight value in drachma (Biblical Greek)
  • Select the target unit as scruple (apothecary) [s.ap]
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent weight in scruples
  • Utilize the result to interpret historical prescriptions or coin weights

Key Features

  • Converts drachma (Biblical Greek) weights to apothecary scruples
  • Uses historically relevant units in numismatics and pharmacology
  • Browser-based and straightforward to use
  • Supports analysis of ancient coins and pharmaceutical texts

Examples

  • 1 drachma = 2.6235 scruples
  • 3 drachmae = 7.8705 scruples

Common Use Cases

  • Estimating silver mass in Hellenistic or Biblical coins for archaeology
  • Translating drachma references in ancient texts to modern mass units
  • Interpreting historical medical prescriptions in apothecary units
  • Analyzing archival pharmaceutical, botanical, or alchemical formulas

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify the historical context to consider drachma weight variations
  • Use conversions to better understand economic or medicinal values in ancient sources
  • Cross-reference converted masses with original historical documents when possible
  • Apply conversions cautiously due to regional differences and obsolescence of apothecary units

Limitations

  • Drachma weights vary regionally and over time between about 4.0–4.5 grams
  • Apothecary scruples are largely obsolete and suited mainly for historical interpretation
  • Conversion precision may be affected by these historical variations
