Assarion (Biblical Roman)
The assarion was a small Roman bronze or copper coin used in ancient times, often as a unit of weight and currency.
History/Origin
Originating in the Roman Empire, the assarion was used during the late Republic and early Imperial periods, primarily in the Eastern provinces. It served both as a monetary unit and a standard for measuring small weights.
Current Use
The assarion is no longer in use today. It is primarily of historical interest and is referenced in studies of ancient Roman economy and numismatics.
Poundal
The poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared.
History/Origin
The poundal was introduced in the 19th century as part of the FPS system of units, primarily used in engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the SI system. It was designed to provide a consistent force unit based on imperial units.
Current Use
Today, the poundal is largely obsolete and rarely used outside of historical or specialized engineering contexts. It is mainly referenced for educational purposes or in discussions of imperial units, with the SI unit of force (newton) being the standard.
