About these units
Denarius (Biblical Roman) (denarius)
The denarius, about 3.9–4.5 grams, was the standard Roman silver coin of the early empire and appears frequently in the New Testament. It was considered a typical day's wage for a laborer, providing historians with a powerful economic reference point. As a mass unit, the denarius represents a consistent silver weight upon which Roman taxation and commercial pricing depended. Its stability made it a backbone of Roman monetary policy. Its appearance in religious texts shows how deeply embedded Roman economics were in the daily lives of conquered regions.
Hundredweight (UK) (cwt (UK))
The British hundredweight equals 112 pounds (50.802345 kg). The extra 12 pounds derive from England's historical use of a 14-pound stone. The British hundredweight was used across the former British Empire for trade, taxation, and freight classification. It scales into the long ton (20 cwt = 1 long ton), forming a fully coherent system within imperial measurements. While replaced by metric units in the UK, this unit persists in historical documents, trade archives, and older engineering references.
