Uncia (coin)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Issued in Rome between 275–270BCE
The uncia (Latin, "twelfth part") was a Roman unit of length (equivalent to an inch, one-twelfth of a pes or foot) and of weight (equivalent to an ounce, one-twelfth of a libra or pound).

Republican coin
By derivation, it was also the name of a bronze coin valued at one-twelfth of an as produced during the Roman Republic. The uncia had a theoretical weight of about 27 grams under the libral standard and was produced occasionally towards the beginning of Roman cast bronze coinage. Obverse types of the uncia include a knucklebone (ca. 289–245 BC), a barleycorn (ca. 280–245 BC), and the helmeted bust of Roma (from ca. 240 BC).

Empire coin
In imperial times the uncia was briefly revived under Trajan (98–117) and Hadrian (117–138). This coin was about 11–14 mm in diameter and weighed about 0.8–1.2 grams. It featured the bust of the emperor on the obverse with no inscription and "SC" (for Senatu Consulto) in a wreath on the reverse. If this issue belonged to the imperial system, meaning it was not a provincial piece, it would be an uncia. This issue may have been made only for circulation in the East.

Trajan 98 - 117, Hadrian 117 - 138, total 98 - 138.  now for 1998 - 2038, well so of 1900 years later, and is now, reverse to now, present. :).

0.8 grams system - light issue - 4 carob ae bronze uncia.

0.8/500*2640 = 4.224 carob, rounded down to 4 carob.  can also do a 5 carob ae uncia, but this one I'm doing is 4 carob ae uncia.

4/2640*500 grams = 0.758 grams or about 0.8 grams ae bronze or 1/36 uncia of 144 carob, or heavy deben. thus 1/18 of light deben 72 carob.

The triens (plural trientes) was an Ancient Roman bronze coin produced during the Roman Republic valued at one-third of an as (4 unciae). The most common design for the triens was the bust of Minerva and four pellets (indicating four unciae) on the obverse and the prow of a galley on the reverse. It was not a common denomination and was last struck ca. 89 BC.
