Description: | A cast lead weight of possible Roman date. The general form of this piece is consistent with a Roman steelyard weight; however, the weight of 18.84g does not appear to be consistent with the known Roman system of weights and measures.The weight is conical and has slightly flattened faces. An applied iron or copper-alloy loop extends upwards from the top. The object measures 18.1mm high and 15.6mm in diameter.
