"A talent is an ancient unit of mass. In ancient times, the talent corresponded generally to the mass of water in the volume of an amphora, i.e. one foot cube. (Cf. Roman weights.)
The Babylonians and Sumerians had a system in which there were 60 shekels in a mina and 60 minas in a talent (in Ancient Greece one talent = 26 kg of silver). The Roman talent consisted of 100 libra (pounds) which were smaller in magnitude than the mina.
When used as a measure of money, it refers to a talent of gold. The gold talent is reported as weighing roughly the same as a person, and so perhaps 50 kg (110 lb avoirdupois). Some authorities state, more precisely, that the talent typically weighed about 33 kg (75 lb) varying from 20 to 40 kg. As of 2005 the international price of gold is about US$465 per troy ounce, i.e. about $15 per gram. At this price, a talent (33 kg) would be worth about $500,000."

the 666 talents of gold Soloman received in taxes in one year is the number of the beast!
So the beast is gold - there is no such 666 person anywhere!
