Assarion (Biblical Roman)
The assarion was a small Roman bronze or copper coin used in ancient times, often as a unit of weight and currency.
History/Origin
Originating in the Roman Empire, the assarion was used during the late Republic and early Imperial periods, primarily in the Eastern provinces. It served both as a monetary unit and a standard for measuring small weights.
Current Use
The assarion is no longer in use today. It is primarily of historical interest and is referenced in studies of ancient Roman economy and numismatics.
Quarter (Uk)
A quarter (qr) is a traditional unit of weight used in the UK, typically equal to one-quarter of a hundredweight, or 28 pounds (approximately 12.7 kilograms).
History/Origin
The quarter has historical roots in British measurement systems, originating from the need to divide larger weights into manageable parts. It was commonly used in trade and agriculture before the adoption of the metric system.
Current Use
Today, the quarter is largely obsolete in official measurement but may still be used informally in certain industries such as agriculture and livestock to denote weight, especially in the UK.
