Lepton (Biblical Roman)

The lepton was the smallest and least valuable coin in the Roman and Jewish monetary systems during Biblical times. Made of bronze, it was used for very small transactions.

In the New Testament, the lepton is famously mentioned in the story of the widow’s mite, where a poor widow donates two lepta, showing her humble but sincere offering.
