However, similar concepts of small value can be found in Hebrew terms like "agorah" (Strong's H95), which refers to a small coin or piece of money.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "assarion" refers to a small Roman coin, often translated as "penny" in English. It was a low-denomination coin used in everyday transactions during the time of the New Testament. The assarion is mentioned in the context of illustrating the value of small things in the eyes of God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The assarion was a common coin in the Roman Empire, equivalent to the Roman "as." It was made of copper or bronze and was used for minor transactions. In the New Testament era, the assarion represented a small amount of money, highlighting the economic conditions of the time and the simplicity of daily life for many people. The use of such coins in Jesus' teachings underscores the accessibility of His message to all social classes.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>787</b> <i>assárion</i> – a brass (Roman) coin of little value, i.e. "small change."</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Latin origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an assarion, a farthing (one tenth of a drachma)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cent (1), cents (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 787: ἀσσάριον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀσσάριον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀσσαρίου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span>, <span class="accented">an assarium or assarius,</span> the name of a coin equal to the tenth part of a drachma (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">δηνάριον</span></span>), (diminutive of the Latin<span class="latin">as</span>, rabbinical <span class="hebrew">אִיסָּר</span>) (<span class="accented">a penny</span>): <a href="/interlinear/matthew/10-29.htm">Matthew 10:29</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/12-6.htm">Luke 12:6</a>.
