Editing Medieval weights and measures (section)

== Romanian system ==
{{Unreferenced section|date=November 2019}}
The measures of the old Romanian system varied greatly not only between the three Romanian states ([[Wallachia]], [[Moldavia]], [[Transylvania]]), but sometimes also inside the same country. The origin of some of the measures are the Latin (such as ''iugăr'' unit), Slavic (such as ''vadră'' unit) and Greek (such as ''dram'' unit) and Turkish (such as ''palmac'' unit) systems.

This system is no longer in use since the adoption of the metric system in 1864.
