Description: | A lead weight, weighing 155g (5.5oz), (possibly) from a steelyard or a standing weight. The weight is a domed cylinder (in shape) with slight vertical ribs, running around the outer edge of the weight. The base is flat and circular, 27.2mm in diameter. The weight stands to a height of 38.5mm. On the apex of the dome is a very corroded iron bar, which represents the remains of a loop. Weights of this type, are Roman in date, and were suspended from steelyards. However, due to that fact that so few lead weights have been found in archaeological contexts, this weight remains undatable. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
