About: Litra

An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A litra (plural: litrae; Ancient Greek: λίτρα) was a small silver coin (or unit of measurement for other precious metals) used in the Archaic-era and early Classical colonies of Ancient Greece in general and in ancient Sicily in particular. As a coin, the litra was similar in value to the obol In silver content, the coin weighed 0.87 g (0.031 oz) and was equal to one-fifth of a drachma. As a unit of weight, the litra was one-third of a Roman libra, i.e. 109.15 g (3.850 oz). In the Talmud, the litra is a unit of measurement, the equivalent of 60 shekels, weighing 354 g (12.5 oz).

  • Litra (en grec antic λίτρα) era una unitat grega de pes i monetària que corresponia, encara que no n'era equivalent, entre els grecs de Sicília, a la lliura romana i que s'utilitzava per pesar diversos materials, fins i tot el coure. La paraula s'utilitzava ja en temps d'Epicarm, i es troba moltes vegades a Aristòtil. Equivalia a una dotzena part de l'unça. El pes de la litra era de 3.387 grans (uns 219 grams). L'equivalent en plata d'una litra de coure era una moneda molt petita que pesava 13'5 grans i era d'ús comú a Sicília. Era la desena part d'un estàter de Corint, i a partir d'això l'estàter a Sicília s'anomenava δεκάλιτρος στατήρ ("Dekalitros statér"), perquè tenia un valor de deu vegades del d'una litra. Com a moneda tenia un valor similar a l'òbol de l'illa d'Egina. (ca)

  • A litra (plural: litrae; Ancient Greek: λίτρα) was a small silver coin (or unit of measurement for other precious metals) used in the Archaic-era and early Classical colonies of Ancient Greece in general and in ancient Sicily in particular. As a coin, the litra was similar in value to the obol In silver content, the coin weighed 0.87 g (0.031 oz) and was equal to one-fifth of a drachma. As a unit of weight, the litra was one-third of a Roman libra, i.e. 109.15 g (3.850 oz). Making small change from the silver coin, one litra could be divided into 12 bronze onkia coins (also spelled ounkia and related to the later Roman uncia). Some ancient Greek bronze coins were marked with value "pellets," which are tiny solid domed counting-dots somewhat like the pips on dice. Because of the division into 12 parts, a bronze coin marked with six pellets was worth half a litra (a hemilitron). A coin marked with three pellets was a quarter-litra (called a tetras for a fourth-part). For those accustomed to a 10-based rather than a 12-based coin system, it can be confusing that a coin marked with three units is a "quarter," but this is because three onkia is one fourth of a 12-onkia litra. A bronze coin worth one-sixth of a litra, called a hexans, often bore two value-pellets. Worth two onkia, the hexans was also called a dionkion (a two onkia unit). A five-onkia coin also appeared at times, called by numismatists a quincunx. (Not all ancient bronze coins with pellets/pips were such divisions of a litra; the Roman aes grave coins also used pellets.) In the 3rd-century apocryphal New Testament text known as the Acts of Thomas, Jesus sells Thomas to an Indian merchant "for three litrae of silver unstamped". In the Talmud, the litra is a unit of measurement, the equivalent of 60 shekels, weighing 354 g (12.5 oz). (en)
  • La litra est un terme générique désignant une mesure de métaux précieux d'argent de la Grèce antique valant 1 unité équivalente à 0,2 drachme. Elle est émise en de très nombreux types par les différentes cités et colonies grecques et utilisée jusqu'à la domination romaine. Dans les apocryphes du Nouveau Testament (Actes de Thomas), Jésus vend Thomas à un marchand indien « Pour trois litrae d'argent non estampillés, et écrivit un acte de vente, en disant : Moi, Jésus, le fils de Joseph le charpentier, reconnais avoir vendu mon esclave, du nom de Judas à toi Abbanes, marchand de Gundaphorus, roi des Indiens. » L'argent non estampillé était en lingot et avait une valeur de 3 litrae. Les pièces helléniques et autres pièces d'argent de l'époque étaient en circulation dans diverses régions d'Asie et de Méditerranée, et parfois au-delà ; par exemple le (Loire) possède un litra trouvé sur le site de Forum Segusiavorum, le Feurs antique.
