About these units
Quadrans (Biblical Roman) (quadrans)
The quadrans, worth 1/4 of an as, weighed around 3 grams, typically made of bronze rather than silver. It served the Roman lower classes for everyday purchases—food, small household items, and public baths. In biblical passages, the quadrans symbolizes poverty and small generosity, anchoring theological teachings in real economic terms.
Scruple (Apothecary) (s.ap)
The scruple is an old apothecary unit equal to 20 grains or 1.2959782 grams, originating in ancient Greek and Roman medicine. Apothecaries used scruples for compounding herbal remedies, powders, and tinctures long before standardized metric systems were adopted. Its size made it ideal for preparing early pharmaceuticals where doses needed to be accurate but not excessively granular. Over centuries, the scruple appeared in medical recipes, early scientific writings, and even medieval charms and remedies. Although obsolete today, replaced by milligrams and grams, the scruple is vital for historians studying early medical texts, pharmacy records, and classical-era scientific practices.
