unciae per tumolo (1 Tumolo = 0.112 ha)
The uncia, a Latin word used for a twelfth of anything, was a unit of length (equivalent to an inch, one-twelfth of a pes or foot) and of weight (equivalent to an ounce, one-twelfth of a libra or pound).
[edit] Republican coin
By derivation, it was also the name of a bronze coin valued at one-twelfth of an as produced during the Roman Republic. The uncia had a theoretical weight of about 27 grams under the libral standard and was produced occasionally towards the beginning of Roman cast bronze coinage. Obverse types of the uncia include a knucklebone (ca. 289-245 BC), a barleycorn (ca. 280-245 BC), and the helmeted bust of Roma (from ca. 240 BC).

The same word was used in the Middle Ages in the South of Italy
You can use the Latin term if you don't like "ounces".
I'd indicate also the conversion into hectares in brackets

ounces per hectare
Following through Umberto's explanation i think it might be better to convert into hectares which are definitely an English standard measure. 13.1 ounces per 0.112 hectares would equate to 116.96 ounces per hectare...I don't think tumolo is an english measure ("mound " would be my translation of it =mucchio in Italiano!)
Something went wrong...
