What is a lepton in Biblical Roman terms?

A lepton was a small bronze coin used as a unit of very small mass in historical texts, representing the physical mass of that tiny coin in ancient Judea.

Why convert lepta to talents?

Converting lepta to talents allows researchers to compare very small ancient mass references with larger mass units used in biblical and classical antiquity for economic and historical analysis.

Are these conversions exact measurements?

No, due to variations over time and place, these conversions should be viewed as approximate estimates for research purposes.
