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 (pond [Dutch])
The pond is the Dutch pound, historically about 494 grams (1.089 English pounds). This unit was also used in the former Dutch Indies (now Indonesia) and throughout Southeast Asia. In the Netherlands, the pond has been reinterpreted now as a metric unit equal to exactly 500 grams (1.1023 pounds), like the German pfund.
