The Judean word <i>lepton</i> translates to &quot;small&quot;. The small, almost insignificant coin was the least valuable coin in the kingdom of Judea at the time.The Roman equivalent is the <i>quadrans</i>, but the <i>quadrans</i> was worth a little more.</p><p>Here&#039;s an image link: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Widowsmite.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Widowsmite.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Widowsmite.jpg</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Clinker[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
