<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Neal, post: 4569929, member: 43872&quot;]The word appears in the King James and some other versions in Mark 12:42 and Luke 21:2.&nbsp; The Greek in both places is lepton (two lepta), and Mark adds that the two lepta make a Roman quadrans, which would be about equal to a Jewish prutah.&nbsp; Here is my lepton.&nbsp; Alexander Jannaeus, 103-76BC, Jerusalem mint, 10.5mm, .56 g.&nbsp; This is the same design as an Alexander Jannaeus prutah, but about half the size.&nbsp; These are thought to have been still widely circulated in Jesus&#039; time.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1131534[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1131535[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
