Description: | A corroded lead steelyard weight of probable Roman date*.
The object is irregular in shape, with a flat top and bottom and (apart from a small, flat section) convex sides. Projecting from the top is a corroded iron protrusion, which represents the remnants of the loop.
It measures 55.3mm across, by 37.6mm high. The weight is 693.5g: this equals approximately 2 Roman librae (pounds). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1
