Unit Definition (obolus [Ancient Rome])
The obolus [Ancient Rome] is a historic unit of weight or mass. The obol is a very small weight that originated as the weight of a tiny Greek coin. In Rome, the obolus was equal to 1/48 Roman ounce (uncia) or about 0.57 gram.

Unit Definition (unze [Germany])
The unze is a traditional German weight unit, corresponding to the English ounce. The unze equals 1/16 pfund. Although the pfund has been assimilated into the metric system (as 500 grams), the unze is effectively obsolete. It varied in size from about 28 to 35 grams. The word comes directly from the Latin uncia; the plural is unzen.
