What is the denarius in this conversion?

The denarius referenced is a 1st-century Biblical Roman silver coin used as an approximate measure of silver weight, varying historically but generally around 3.5 to 4.0 grams.

Can I use this converter for precious metals?

This converter uses the avoirdupois ounce, typically for common weight measures; for precious metals measured in troy ounces, conversions may differ and are not covered here.

Why are the conversions approximate?

Because the denarius coin’s mass and silver purity changed due to historical factors like imperial debasements, exact conversions from ounces to denarius are not precise but serve as useful approximations.
