  Uncia (coin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The uncia, a Latin word used for a twelfth of anything, was a unit of length (equivalent to an inch, one-twelfth of a pes or foot) and of weight (equivalent to an ounce, one-twelfth of a libra or pound).
By derivation, it was also the name of a bronze coin valued at one-twelfth of an as produced during the Roman Republic.
The uncia had a theoretical weight of about 27 grams under the libral standard and was produced occasionally towards the beginning of Roman cast bronze coinage.

Lodged in their mountain fortresses, the Uncia rarely leave except to make forays into the Umbra -- or, more rarely, to other locales in order to gather knowledge or even just to see "what's there" (this is more common in the younger Uncia).
In Feline form an Uncia is much like a heavyset puma, covered in thick fur which varies from pale grey-white to deep smoke, with blurry fl rosettes and white underfur.

 Trajan's Uncia
The uncia (1/12th of an as) was a common denomination during the Roman Republic, but it disappeared under the empire, as inflation made its value insignificant.
From Augustus onward, accounting was done in multiples of the as, though half-as (semis) and quarter-as (quadrans) coins existed for specialized purposes, such as entry to the public baths.
RIC has no uncias for Trajan, nor does Sear (the favorite reference work of many collectors), but the recent books of Van Meter and Vagi do include a Trajan uncia, and the Trajan coin is mentioned at a couple of sites on the internet (see wildwinds.com, for example).

 Uncia: a Gaulish goddess (The Goddess who is Near)
Uncia is a goddess known from a singleinscription found at Iülich, Germany, where she is invoked as deae Unciae (CIL XIII 07870).
Unfortunately none of this goddess' attributes have survived, save her name which can be interpreted on the basis of the reconstructed proto-Celtic elements: *onko- (at, but which also has the connotations of 'near'), the deicitic particle -i- and the feminine ending -a.
Based on this name it may be presumed that Uncia was a goddess of the 'protector' or 'guardian of the tribe' type, though this cannot be asserted with any degree of certainty.

 Why There Are Other Tribes
White Uncia licked her shoulder, and blinked her eyes, and said, "That's the way of children - but we'll see about those others!" and off she went to find out who those last few were and punish them.
White Uncia ran into the lowlands, where her false Verdimm children were; and White Uncia was angry, but her false Verdimm children were many, and after a long time they bore her down.
But White Uncia was the daughter of gods, and a god herself, and her magic was her own; no matter what the false Verdimm asked her, or how they set their paws, they couldn't change an animal into a Verdimm child.

 Snow Leopard
Due to the under-development of the fibro-elastic tissue that forms part of the vocal apparatus the snow leopard cannot give a full, deep roar and this along with differences in skull characteristics help to separate it from its fellow ‘big cats’.
The cats found in the north of the range are generally classified as Uncia uncia uncia whilst those in the south, Uncia uncia uncioides.
However some suggest that due to the fragmentation of the species within those broad areas, genetic differences may exist and further subspeciation may well be necessary.

 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Uncia uncia
Based on estimates of density and geographic range (Nowell and Jackson 1996), the snow leopard's total effective population size is estimated at below 2,500 mature breeding individuals, with a declining trend due to habitat and prey base loss and persecution, and no subpopulation containing more than 250 mature breeding individuals.
Garments of snow leopard fur were once highly prized in the fashion world and although no longer in international trade, fur coats and "novelty" furs have been seen for sale in shops throughout China, Taiwan and in Mongolia (Nowell and Jackson 1996).
Included on CITES Appendix I. uncia is also protected by national legislation across most of its range (Nowell and Jackson 1996), with hunting bans in place in Bhutan (only in protected areas, which cover most of snow leopard range in this country), China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.

Most of the year they stay in elevations from 10,000 ft. to 15,000 ft. in the upper grasslands to the snow line, but in the winter they move down to elevations of about 6,000 feet.
Its tail is long which provides balance in its leaps up to 35 ft. Like its coat, the fur on its tail is long and dense, and it wraps its tail around its body, mouth, and nose in extreme temperatures.

Serum concentrations of oestradiol and progesterone and frequency of sexual behaviour during the normal oestrous cycle in the snow leopard (Panthera uncia).
Serum oestradiol and progesterone concentrations were measured at weekly intervals for six months, and correlated with daily behavioural observations in two adult female snow leopards (Panthera uncia).
Three oestradiol peaks (> 21 pg ml-1; interval 3.6 weeks) were identified in a snow leopardess housed alone (two more were probably missed because of the weekly sampling schedule), and three oestradiol peaks were identified in a snow leopardess housed with a male as a breeding pair (interval 6 weeks).
