The assarion was a small Roman bronze or copper coin used in ancient times, often as a unit of weight and currency.

History/Origin
The decigram is part of the metric system, which was developed in France in the late 18th century to standardize measurements. It has been used primarily in scientific and technical contexts to provide precise mass measurements.
Current Use
