Tetradrachma (Biblical Greek)

The tetradrachma was an ancient Greek silver coin commonly used during Biblical times. It was worth four drachmas (hence the name "tetra" meaning four).

The tetradrachma was widely circulated across the Greek world and surrounding regions, including areas mentioned in the Bible. It served as a major currency for trade and taxation.

In weight, a tetradrachma typically contained about 17 grams of silver, making it a significant denomination in ancient commerce.

Atomic Mass Unit [u]

The atomic mass unit (u), also known as the unified atomic mass unit or dalton (Da), is a standard unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights.

• 
  

  1 u = 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom

  
  
• 
  

  1 u ≈ 1.66053906660 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms

  
  
• 
  

  Symbol: u or Da

  
  

Key Facts:

• 
  

  Used to measure the mass of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles

  
  
• 
  

  1 hydrogen atom ≈ 1 u

  
  
• 
  

  Mass of a proton ≈ 1.007 u, neutron ≈ 1.008 u
