Tunisia, as many other regions, had its own system of weights and measures tha evolved over time and varied accross different regions and communities within the country. The Tunisian units were used for various purposes such as trade, commerce, and agriculture.
The old Tunisian system was in use until 1895 when the metric system was introduced and standardized across Tunisia and other countries. The process of metric system adoption involved gradually replacing traditional units with metric units to facilitate standardization, ease of communication, and consistentcy in measurement.
While the metric system is now the standard system of measurement in Tunisia and many other countires, some old Tunisian units may still be used informally or in traditional context, especially in rural areas or in culturall practices where they hold significance. However, their usage is much less common compared to the past.
The old Tunisian unit system consist of volume (capacity) units and mass units. The converters and description of these units are given below.
The old Tunisian Volume (capacity) units are: Millerole, Whiba, and Saah.
The old Tunisian units of mass were used unitl the adoption of the metric system. These units are: Cantrao (khaddari), Cantaro (sucki), Cantaro (attari), Rottolo (khaddari), Rottolo (sucki), Rottolo (attari), and Uckir (once).

The old Tunisain Volume (capacity) Units Converter
- Caffisio - unfrotunatelly there is not much information about this unit other than 1 [cafisso] = \(496 \times 10^{-3}\) [m\(^3\)]
- Millerole - The millerole is traditionally used to measure small volumes of liquids, such as olive oil, or watter.
- Whiba - The unit was aloso used for measuring small volues, often in context of food preparation for cooking.
- Saah - like Caffisio there is nto much informaiton about this unit. However, there is indication that this unit is more commonly associtaed with time (hour), but in some regions it was used as volume (capacity) unit of measure.
The old Tunisian Mass Units Converter
The old Tunisian units of mass were used unitl the adoption of the metric system. These units are: Cantrao (khaddari), Cantaro (sucki), Cantaro (attari), Rottolo (khaddari), Rottolo (sucki), Rottolo (attari), and Uckir (once).
- Cantaro (khaddari) - This is likely a variant of the unit "cántaro," which was used in various Mediterranean regions as a unit of mass or volume. The specific value of the cantaro (khaddari) would depend on the context and historical period. However, the Cantaro (khaddari) that was most commonly used was equal to 2000 [uckir] (once) or 62.99 [kg].
- Cantaro (sucki) - Similar to the previous one i.e. a variant of the unit "cántaro". The 1 Cantaro (sucki) is equal to 1800 uckir (once) or 56.691 [kg].
- Cantaro (attari) - Another variant of the unit "cántaro," likely with its own specific value depending on the context. the 1 [Cantaro] (attari) is equal to 1600 [uckir] (once) or 50.392 [kg].
- Rottolo (khaddari) - The rottolo was a unit of mass used in various Mediterranean countries, including Tunisia. The rottolo (khaddari) likely refers to a specific variant used in Tunisian contexts. The 1 [Rottolo ] khaddari is equal to 20 [uckir] (once) or 0.6299 [kg].
- Rottolo (sucki) - Another variant of the rottolo, likely with its own value in Tunisian measurements. The 1 [Rottolo] (sucki) is equal to 18 [Uckir] (once) or 0.56691 [kg].
- Rottolo (attari) - Similar to the previous ones, this is another variant of the rottolo used in Tunisian measurements. The 1 [Rottolo] (attari) is equal to 16 [uckir] (once) or 0.50392 [kg].
- Uckir (once) - This appears to be a unit of mass, possibly equivalent to an "ounce" in English. The specific value would depend on the historical period and regional variations. The 1 [uckir] is equal to 0.031495 [kg].
