What is a lepton (Biblical Roman)?

A lepton was a very small bronze coin used in Hellenistic and Roman Judea, serving as a low-value monetary unit and a small mass reference in historical texts.

What does the drachma (Biblical Greek) represent?

The drachma is an ancient silver coin and weight unit used across Hellenistic regions, approximately equal to 4.3 grams of silver, functioning as both a mass and monetary measure.

Can this conversion be used for modern weight measurements?

No, this conversion is intended for academic and archaeological purposes, as both lepton and drachma weights vary historically and regionally and are not standardized modern units.
