What does the quadrans unit represent?

The quadrans was a small Roman bronze coin whose mass served as a minor fractional unit within the Roman weight system.

Why is the talent unit important in biblical studies?

The talent was an ancient large mass unit used for measuring precious metals, allowing conversion of biblical references into meaningful weights and economic values.

Are conversions from quadrans to talent exact?

No, because both units vary historically and due to physical changes like corrosion, conversions are approximate.
