Description: | An incomplete and corroded cast lead steelyard weight of Roman date (AD 43 - AD 410). Length 34.0mm, daimeter 43.0mm. Weight 173.39g.
When complete, the weight would have been bi-conical in form. Almost half of the weight is missing due to corrosion. A central longitudinal corroded iron shaft is the remains of a suspension loop or hook. The loop or hook element is missing.
The weight is in poor condition. | 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: | 43
