	Obolus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The obolus (or obol) is a Greek silver coin worth a sixth of a drachma.
		Those without enough wealth, or whose friends refused to follow proper burial rites, waited eternally on the shore, and were never able to cross into the underworld.
		In popular culture, the obol was used in the cult indie film "The Boondock Saints." Two brothers, in their role as vigilantes, place obols over the eyes of a murdered Mob Boss.

		Dear OBOL, I have asked Andrew, who has been working grave yard shift for the last two months, to respond to OBOL on any sightings of Golden-crowned Sparrows he has, or is seeing, on his place in Dallas in July.
		Obol, I mentioned it to Dan Heyerly, and he said I should report it to Obol, so here it is. On Wednesday night June 28th, I had what I believe was a COMMON NIGHTHAWK flying over my work at about 10:30, 11pm at night.

		Silver drachms and obols were issued according to this system; didrachms were also produced at twice the weight of a drachm (Gardner, 112-119).
		When coinage began in Aegina, one silver obol was to be valued as one bronze obeli.
		It was not until the fourth and third centuries BCE that Greeks adopted the practice of minting bronze begun by their colonies in Southern Italy (Williams, 34).

		Don't let the quantity we offer fool you - these are rare coins, not seen very often - because of their size they were not often hoarded, and good examples are rare and hard to find.
		Now - 1/2 obols weigh about 0.2 gr and 1/4 obols weigh about 0.1 gr - they are only 7-8 mm in diameter and are very hard to scan.
		The obols listed below are hard to come by, with EF specimens sold for as much as 500$ (CNG Triton III, lot 3).

	Origin of Money in Greece: Cast iron
		Plutarch[59] states that the Spartan iron obol weighs a mina, which is in agreement with the weight of ca.
		In my opinion, the fee was originally paid with an iron obol and, for reasons of a ritualistic conservatism, it continued to be so paid even after silver became the accepted currency in the region of the temples.
		In classical times, the method of producing the Spartan iron obols was either kept as a secret — metallurgists have been inclined to be secretive in all times—or was badly understood.

		This probably served as an obol, 1/6 of a drachm, equal to the obols of previous rulers as well as the 8.5 gram obol struck with the portrait of Cleopatra in Alexandria.
		At about 14 grams, this is too heavy to be a 12 gram obol of Ptolemy II to V. It is too light to be a diobol on the 9 gram standard of Ptolemy VI to X. There were no diobols under Ptolemy XII.
		Perhaps it was meant to be a diobol during the reign of Cleopatra.

	Egypt
		This is from one of the notes: "The conventional view has been that these coins represent dichalkons, however, this may not be true for a number of reasons: from the sizes and weights in RPC1 and RPC2, it is apparent that the smallest denomination actually represents two denominations.
		From Table 2, the ratio of the obol to this "dichalkon" (called a hemiobol in the table) suggests that 2.17 to 2.36 of the smaller coin equalled an obol; however if the smaller coin were a dichalkon, then one would expect a ratio for 4 to an obol.
		This would result in coins of a half obol and a quarter obol, which would solve many of the questions raised regarding the bronze denominations cited in the papyri.

		With a description of the rules underlying this formal language, term names can be parsed to derive computable definitions, which can then be reasoned over.

		Obol has utility as an ontology maintenance tool, and as a means of generating computable definitions for a whole ontology.
