Tetradrachma (Biblical Greek)
The tetradrachma was an ancient Greek silver coin weighing approximately four drachmas, used as a standard monetary unit in the Hellenistic world.
History/Origin
Originating in ancient Greece, the tetradrachma was widely circulated during the classical and Hellenistic periods, serving as a major currency for trade and commerce across Greek city-states and beyond.
Current Use
Today, the tetradrachma is primarily of historical and numismatic interest, with no modern monetary value or use, but it is studied for its historical significance and archaeological relevance.
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.
