What is a hectogram used for?

A hectogram is a metric unit of mass equal to 100 grams, commonly used for weighing moderate masses such as food portions and in laboratory settings.

Why convert hectograms to mina (Biblical Greek)?

This conversion helps to interpret ancient texts and archaeological findings that record weights and monetary amounts in minas, facilitating historical and economic research.

Is the conversion rate exact?

No, the conversion rate is an approximation because the actual weight of the mina varied across regions and historical periods.
