WHAT DOES OBOLI MEAN IN ENGLISH?

oboli

Obol (coin)

The obol was an ancient silver coin. In Classical Athens, there were six obols to the drachma; it could be exchanged for eight chalkoi. Two obols made a diobol, weighing around 1.41-1.43 grams of silver. Triobols were also in use. In English, the coin is usually called an obol, another name for a halfpenny. An obelískos is a "small obol", called so in jest because of its huge size. According to Plutarch, the Spartans had an iron obolus of four chalkoi. Sparta chose to retain the use of the cumbersome, impractical "oboloi" rather than coins proper, so as to discourage the pursuit of wealth. The obolus is also a measurement of weight. In ancient Greece it was defined as one sixth of a drachma, or about 0.5 gram. In ancient Rome it was defined as 1/48 of a Roman ounce, or about 0.57 gram, but was never issued as a coin as part of the early republican coinage system. Below the drachm was the dupondius to the quartuncia. In modern Greece it is equivalent to one decigram, or 0.1 gram. The word "obolos", also "obelos" or "odelos" in other dialects, means a long thin metal nail or rod, such as a spit.
