What does quadrans (Biblical Roman) represent?

It represents the mass of a small ancient Roman bronze coin used historically as a fractional unit in the Roman weight and monetary system.

Is poundal a mass or force unit?

Poundal is a force unit in the foot–pound–second system, defined by the force needed to accelerate a one pound mass by one foot per second squared.

Can I directly compare quadrans and poundal values?

Direct comparison requires contextual interpretation since quadrans is a mass and poundal is a force unit; conversions often assume standard gravity.
