Ancient history

When n where did the ancient Greeks invented weights?

Ancient Greece is widely recognized as the place where standardized systems of weights and measures were devised during the early Archaic period (approximately 800 to 600 BCE).

During this early Archaic period, ancient Greece experienced significant advances in trade, economy, and urbanization, necessitating accurate, consistent systems of weights and measures for fair trade and commerce. As the Greeks engaged with diverse merchants and city-states across the region, there was a practical need to avoid confusion by having standardized means of weighing and measuring various goods.
