Description: | A lead Roman steelyard weight. Biconical in shape, measuring 27.7mm in diameter and 24.8mm in height. Through the centre of this weight there is a bar of copper-alloy, at one end of the weight it projects and forms a loop, the other projecting end of the rod is incomplete due to an old break but is likely to have also formed at loop. One loop would have been for suspension and the other on which to hang the thing being weighed. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
