Description: | A cast lead weight of probable Roman date.
The weight is cylindrical with curved sides and flattened upper and lower faces. One face has a rectangular cavity 12.63mm in length and 9.42mm in depth, with a slight indication of circular fixture in the centre of the cavity. The opposite face has a thin reverse S-shaped line of copper alloy set into the weight.
This object was found by divers in the River Tyne downstream of the Roman bridge of Corbridge. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
