Unit Definition (libra [ancient Rome])
The libra [ancient Rome] 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 Roman libra contained only 12 unciae (ounces) and was about 0.722 English pound. The word "libra" is sometimes used now for the kilogram, a much larger unit.

Unit Definition (gigagram)
An SI unit of mass equal to 10E9 grams, one million kilograms, or 1 kilotonne (1000 metric tons). This unit is used in scientific contexts, such as the measurement of atmospheric emissions. One gigagram equals about 2.2046 million pounds or 1102.3 U.S. (short) tons.
