Description: | A lead alloy steelyard weight which may be from the Roman period. The weight is sub-spherical, with a flattened base and a slightly pointed top. An iron loop projects from the top. It is 50mm long, and 47.4mm in diameter. The surface of the weight is pitted. It is mid-grey in colour, with patches of white corrosion, but the appearance has been altered by cleaning and varnishing. The weight has a mass of 531g which is roughly equivalent to one and a half Roman pounds. | Subjects: | steelyard | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
