Batman (unit)

The batman was a unit of mass used in the Ottoman Empire and Central Asia. It has also been recorded as a unit of area in Uyghur-speaking regions of Central Asia.

The batman was used in Central Asia up until at least the 18th century. In Khiva in 1740, there were said to be two batmans: the “great batman” of 18 Russian pounds (approx. 7.4 kg) and the “lesser batman” of 9¼ Russian pounds (approx. 3.8 kg).
