web@Matthew:5:26 @ Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there, until you have paid the last penny. {literally, kodrantes. A kodrantes was a small copper coin worth about 2 lepta (widow's mites)--not enough to buy very much of anything.}

web@Mark:12:42 @ A poor widow came, and she cast in two small brass coins, {literally, lepta (or widow's mites). Lepta are very small brass coins worth half a quadrans each, which is a quarter of the copper assarion. Lepta are worth less than 1% of an agricultural worker's daily wages.} which equal a quadrans coin. {A quadrans is a coin worth about 164 of a denarius. A denarius is about one day's wages for an agricultural laborer.}
