What is a Ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)]?

It is a traditional unit of mass used specifically in assaying to report quantities of ore or metal. It differs from other ton units like the long ton or metric tonne.

What does Quadrans (Biblical Roman) represent?

The Quadrans was a small Roman bronze coin whose mass is used as a fractional Roman weight unit, representing one quarter of an as in ancient weight and monetary systems.

Why convert Ton (assay) to Quadrans?

Conversion helps translate modern assay ton measurements into ancient Roman weight units, useful in archaeology, numismatics, and historical research involving Roman coinage.
