The mĕnē (Aramaic: מְנֵא; Hebrew: מָנֶה), also mina, is an ancient Mesopotamian unit of weight for gold or silver and one of the earliest written words for money. The mĕnē, like the shekel, was also a unit of currency. Before it was used as currency, a mene was a unit of measurement, equal to 567 grams. Terms in other Mesopotamian languages include the Hebrew māneh, Aramaic mĕnē, Syriac manyā, Ugaritic mn, and Akkadian manū. The measurement was adopted by the Ancient Greeks as the mina. From the Akkadian period, 2 mĕnē was equal to 1 sila of water (cf. clepsydra, water clock).

  • El mene o mina en arameo (en hebreo: מנה)​ es una antigua unidad de medida mesopotámica para oro o plata y una de las primeras palabras escritas para simbolizar «dinero». El mene, como el siclo, también era una unidad monetaria. En la antigua Grecia, originalmente equivalía a 70 dracmas y luego se aumentó a 100 dracmas.​ La palabra griega mna fue tomada del semita; compárese hebreo māneh, arameo mĕnē, siríaco manyā , ugarítico mn y acadio manū. Sin embargo, antes de usarse como moneda, un mene era una unidad de medida, igual a 567 gramos. Un mene de oro tendría un valor de 23,000 $ USD y un mene de plata tendría un valor de 300 $ USD a los precios actuales del metal. (es)

Un mene de oro tendría un valor de 23,000 $ USD y un mene de plata tendría un valor de 300 $ USD a los precios actuales del metal. En el lenguaje popular utilizado por los marineros, la palabra mina o minas llegó a significar «minas», lo que indica los recursos minerales extraídos del suelo. Desde los primeros tiempos sumerios, un mene era una unidad de medida. Al principio, todavía no se habían introducido los talentos ni los siclos. En el momento de Ur-Nammu, el mene tenía un valor de 1/60 talentos y 60 siclos. El valor del mene se calcula en 1.25 libras,​​ o 0.571 kilogramos por mene (18.358 onzas troyanas). La evidencia de Ugarit indica que un mene era equivalente a cincuenta siclos.​ El profeta Ezequiel se refiere a un mene (maneh en la Biblia del rey Jacobo) como sesenta siclos, en el Libro de Ezequiel.​ Jesús de Nazaret cuenta la Parábola de las minas en el Evangelio de Lucas 19, 11-27​ Desde el imperio acadio, 2 menes equivalían a 1 sila de agua (cf. clepsidra, reloj de agua).

From earliest Sumerian times, a mĕnē was a unit of weight. At first, talents and shekels had not yet been introduced. By the time of Ur-Nammu, the mĕnē had a value of 1/60 talents as well as 60 shekels. or 571 grams of silver (18.358 troy ounces). At Ugarit, a mĕnē was equivalent to fifty shekels. The prophet Ezekiel refers to a mĕnē ('maneh' in the King James Version) as sixty shekels, in the Book of Ezekiel. Jesus of Nazareth tells the "parable of the mĕnē" in Luke 19:11-27. From the Akkadian period, 2 mĕnē was equal to 1 sila of water (cf. clepsydra, water clock). In the Code of Hammurabi which is arguably the first example of written law, mene is one of the most used terms denoting the weight of gold to be paid for crimes or to resolve civil conflicts. (en)
