About these units
Decigram (dg)
A decigram equals 1/10 of a gram and appears in older scientific literature, pharmaceutical compounding, and some food chemistry applications. Today, milligrams and grams are more common, but decigrams still offer practical value when describing masses that naturally fall between these scales, such as certain supplements or cosmetic ingredients. The decigram remains a reminder of the metric system's logical progression, offering users a consistent, scalable set of units.
Tetradrachma (Biblical Greek) (tetradrachma)
A tetradrachma weighed about 17 grams, equivalent to four drachmas. It became one of the most widely circulated silver coins in the ancient world, especially under the Athenian empire. Athenian tetradrachms, often stamped with the iconic owl design, were standardized, highly trusted, and circulated across the Mediterranean as an international currency. Although now primarily of numismatic interest, tetradrachms are key archaeological artifacts, illuminating trade networks, political authority, and artistic expression.
