In the New Testament and other Greek texts from antiquity, the talent was also a unit of weight and currency.
The Greek talent was typically lighter than the Hebrew talent, with a common weight of about 57 pounds (26 kilograms) or less.
In the parable of the talents in the New Testament (Matthew 25:14-30), talents were used as a representation of value and investment.
The assarion in Biblical Roman is a unit of currency mentioned in the New Testament. It was a small Roman coin, and the term was used to describe a day's wage for a laborer.
