Talent of Biblical Days Used by Several Nations
The article explains the old monetary unit talent across civilizations. It gives Roman, Greek, and Hebrew values and links the term to modern meanings from Matthew 25:14 30. It notes talents varied, with Roman talent about $480, little talent about $363, Greek talent near $1,000 in Athens, Hebrew talent around $1,800, and concludes from these figures that talent to acquire $1,000 remains a measure of ability.
