In the Sixteenth Century, that's what almost anyone would have meant. If you chose to interpret it as meaning "energy per unit time," why, that's real tough. Why nail the "power metal" down to an isotope of gold with an atomic weight of 197? Because that's the only naturally occurring isotope of gold.
In 197 the struggle was brought to a termination by the battle of Cynoscephalae, near Scotussa, in Thessaly, which decided the fate of the Macedonian monarchy.
Mag. 1793, p. 197, were given extracts abusive of Johnson from some foolish letters that passed between Miss Seward and Hayley, a poet her equal in feebleness. She, in the Gent. Mag. for 1793, p.875, defended herself and attacked him. His reply is found on p.1009.
Rhodes and Athens, together with King Attalus of Pergamon, sought for help against Philip. The Romans were joined by the AEtolians, and afterwards by the Achaians. In 197, the consul T.

Selecting one, he placed his finger on the letters "Au," under which was written the number, 197.2. I wondered what the mystic letters and figures meant.

II. In looking over the Lord's dealings with me as to temporal things, I find that He has sent me, during the past year, In freewill offerings through the boxes, as my part £152 14s. 5 1/4d. Presents in money given to me £25 1s. 3d. Presents in clothes and provisions worth at least £20 0s. 0d. Altogether from the brethren in Bristol £197 15s. 8 1/4d.
Ep. 197. I just now mentioned St. Thomas Becket. There is at once a similarity and a contrast between his history and that of Ambrose. Each of the two was by education and society what would now be called a gentleman. Each was in high civil station when he was raised to a great ecclesiastical position; each was in middle age.
"When, in 1816, George Coggeshall coasted the Mediterranean in the 'Cleopatra's Barge, a magnificent yacht of 197 tons, which excited the wonder even of the Genoese, the black cook, who had once sailed with Bowditch, was found to be as competent to keep a ship's reckoning as any of the officers.
At Louvain, more than 100 victims; at Aerschot, over 150; at Soumagne, 165; at Ethe, 197; at Andenne, over 300; at Tamines, 400; at Dinant, upwards of 600, of whom 71 were women, 34 old men of over seventy, 6 children from five to nine years old, and 11 under five.
The engravings on pp. 5, 11, 165, 197, and 227 sufficiently show the type of vessel that now again came into vogue, and which was known as a galleon, nave, polacca, tartana, barcone, caravel, caramuzel, &c., according to its size and country.
