The traditional English apothecaries' system was a subset of Roman weight system except that Roman libra (pound) was slightly lighter. In 1858 apothercaries' system was officially abolished in in the U.K. in favour of the standard Avoirdupois system.

Indian units (Akbar system)

The first uniform system of units was introduced in India by the third imperor Akbar I in 16th century. Before him weights and measures varied from region to region. Unfortunately, the new measures did not replace all the previous ones, they just added another system.

Akbar system of units was based on barley corn (Jau) for both weigth and length. It was widely used in India until adoption of the metric system in 1958. The weight units were slightly altered in 1833 to align with the British system. Here we provide conversion for the units after this change.
