Talent is a part of a weight system and monetary system. In weight, it is 34.2 Kg or 75.5 lbs.

Denarius is a Roman silver coin weighing 3.85 gm and worth approximately 74 cents in today's standard. It had the head of Ceasar on it and was used to pay the head tax required by the Romans.

A shekel could be either gold or silver and was also used as money. Pieces of either gold or silver would be weighed at the time of transaction. This was used before standard coins of a consistent weight and value were put into use. Some inscribed shekels seem to indicate that the average weight was about 11.4 grams.
