What is a lepton (Biblical Roman)?

A lepton was the smallest low-value bronze coin in ancient Judea used as a small mass reference in historical contexts, not a standardized modern unit.

What is the troy (or apothecary) pound?

The troy pound is a historical mass unit equal to 12 troy ounces or 5,760 grains, primarily used in precious-metal and apothecary measurements.

Why convert from lepton to troy pound?

Converting helps contextualize very small ancient masses in a recognized historical system, assisting studies in biblical texts, numismatics, and historical metal weight.

Are these conversions exact?

No, because lepton weights varied historically, conversions should be considered approximations.

Is the troy pound used today?

The troy pound is mostly obsolete today but still appears in historical and specialized contexts.

Supports study fields like biblical scholarship, numismatics, archaeology, and economic history
Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions
Facilitates interpretation of ancient texts and historical metal weight assessments

Examples

10 lepta converts to approximately 0.000805862 pound (troy or apothecary)
100 lepta converts to approximately 0.00805862 pound (troy or apothecary)

Common Use Cases

Biblical studies interpreting references to small monetary weights like the "widow's mite"
Numismatic analysis of surviving ancient coins for mass and metal composition
Economic history examining small transaction values and purchasing power in ancient Judea
Converting historical apothecary weights and precious metal records to modern units
Museum cataloguing of artifacts recorded in troy or apothecary units

Tips & Best Practices

Keep in mind that lepton weights vary by time and location, so treat conversions as approximations
Use this tool primarily for historical and academic contexts rather than precise modern measurements
Double-check unit selections to ensure correct conversion direction
Leverage conversion results to complement archaeological, biblical, or economic research

Limitations

Lepton is a non-standardized historical mass whose actual weight fluctuated depending on era and mint
Conversions serve as approximate guides rather than exact values
The troy pound is largely obsolete and mainly appears in historical or specialized uses
Not suitable for modern commercial or scientific mass measurement needs
