What is a mina (Biblical Hebrew)?

The mina is an ancient Near Eastern mass unit used in Biblical Hebrew texts for weighing precious metals and goods, with historical mass standards varying over time and place.

What does the lepton (Biblical Roman) represent?

The lepton was the smallest bronze coin in Hellenistic and Roman Judea, used as a small mass unit in historical references tied to coin weight rather than a standardized measurement.

How accurate is the conversion between mina and lepton?

The conversion provides an approximate equivalence due to variations in actual masses of these ancient units across different regions and times.
