Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (libra [Italy]) The libra [Italy] is a traditional unit of weight. The libra was the Roman unit from which the English pound is descended; the symbol "lb" for the pound comes from this unit. The traditional Italian libbra was often of similar size, but a wide variety of libbras were used in Italian markets over the centuries. The word "libra" is sometimes used now for the kilogram, a much larger unit. Unit Definition (millier) The millier is a former name for the tonne or metric ton. This name, obsolete now, was used in Britain to avoid confusion with the British long ton.
