What is a talent in Biblical Hebrew terms?

A talent in Biblical Hebrew is an ancient mass unit traditionally equal to 3,000 shekels, commonly estimated around 34 kilograms, used for measuring large quantities of precious metals and goods.

What does the lepton represent in Biblical Roman measurements?

The lepton was the smallest low-value bronze coin in Hellenistic and Roman Judea, used as a unit of very small mass and referenced in historical texts to represent tiny monetary amounts.

Why are conversions between talent and lepton approximate?

Because the actual mass values of talents and leptons changed between eras and locations, the converter provides approximate values mainly useful for historical and archaeological interpretation.

How to Convert from Talent (Biblical Hebrew) to Lepton (Biblical Roman)
