Drachma (Biblical Greek)
The drachma was an ancient Greek unit of weight and currency, used in biblical times as a standard measure for silver and other precious metals.
History/Origin
Originating in ancient Greece, the drachma was widely used throughout the Greek city-states and later adopted in various regions. It served both as a monetary unit and a weight measure, with its use dating back to at least the 5th century BCE. The biblical Greek drachma is referenced in historical texts and scriptures, reflecting its significance in trade and economy during that era.
Current Use
Today, the drachma is no longer in official use, having been replaced by the euro in Greece. However, it remains a historical and cultural reference, especially in biblical studies and historical research related to ancient Greek economy and currency systems.
Petagram
A petagram (Pg) is a unit of mass equal to 10^15 grams or one quadrillion grams.
History/Origin
The petagram was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes to represent extremely large masses, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the prefix 'peta-' which denotes 10^15.
Current Use
The petagram is primarily used in scientific contexts to quantify very large masses, such as in astronomy and geology, but is rarely used in everyday measurements.
