It is difficult to come to an accurate answer as exact values are not available. It is said that a daily wage in the time of Jesus for the Roman soldier was one denarius or roughly 15 cents. A talent was worth over 10,000 denarium or 3,000 shekels. A handsome amount by any standard - see related link below:

A unit of currency referring to silver was equivalent to 6,000 denarii where 1 denarius was worth a full days wages. Therefore a talent was a far greater value approaching 6 years worth of wages for labor. It was a lot of money.

A silver talent weighed about 30 kilograms. Its value in practical terms would change according to whatever the purchasing power of silver was at a given time.
