In literature, the term "drachma" has often been employed to evoke a sense of modest value or to underscore economic realities of the past. For example, Diogenes Laertius refers to a drachma as "something less than ten pence" ([1] [2]), a usage that not only reflects its historical value as a coin in ancient times but also serves as a metaphor for insignificance or minimal worth. This literary reference illustrates how ancient monetary measures have been repurposed in texts to provide readers with relatable economic comparisons, bridging the gap between contemporary understanding and historical contexts.
