Didrachma (Biblical Greek)
The didrachma was an ancient Greek unit of weight and currency, equivalent to two drachmas, used in biblical and classical Greek contexts.
History/Origin
Originating in ancient Greece, the didrachma was widely used as a standard coin and weight measure during the classical period, especially in the 5th and 4th centuries BCE. It played a significant role in trade and economic transactions in the Greek world and is referenced in biblical texts as a monetary unit.
Current Use
Today, the didrachma is no longer in use as a currency or weight measure. It is primarily of historical and archaeological interest, often referenced in biblical studies and historical research related to ancient Greece.
Stone (Uk)
A stone (st) is a British unit of weight equal to 14 pounds avoirdupois, primarily used for measuring body weight.
History/Origin
The stone has origins in medieval England, where it was used as a practical unit of weight for trade and commerce. Its use has persisted in the UK for measuring human body weight, despite the metric system's adoption elsewhere.
Current Use
Today, the stone is still commonly used in the UK and Ireland for personal weight measurement, especially in the context of health and fitness, although it is largely replaced by kilograms in official and international contexts.
