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.
Stone (st)
The stone equals 14 pounds, or approximately 6.35029 kilograms, and is commonly used in the United Kingdom and Ireland for expressing human body weight. It has deep traditional roots, originating from stones used as counterweights in early commerce. Although largely replaced by metric units in most applications, the stone remains emotionally and culturally significant for personal weight expression in the UK. Many people find it more intuitive and relatable than kilograms due to long-standing social habits. The stone's endurance highlights how measurement systems reflect cultural identity as much as mathematical convenience. It is one of the few units still commonly used in conversation but not in scientific or industrial contexts.
