What is a ton (long) [ton (UK)]?

It is an imperial mass unit equal to 2,240 avoirdupois pounds or exactly 1,016.0469088 kilograms, historically used in the UK and maritime contexts.

What does quadrans (Biblical Roman) represent?

It is the mass of a small Roman bronze coin used as a fractional weight and monetary unit in ancient Roman times.

Why convert between ton (long) and quadrans?

For historical, archaeological, and scholarly analysis to relate imperial weights to ancient Roman coin masses.

Can I use this conversion for modern scientific applications?

No, due to coin mass variability and the long ton's obsolescence, it’s unsuitable for precise scientific measurement.
