Description: | A damaged lead weight, probably of Roman date.
The weight is sub-cylindrical in shape, with damage distorting the overall shape. A triangular groove runs 16.3mm down one side. The top is missing, so it cannot be determined if the weight had a suspension loop. The base is uneven in texture and somewhat flat.
Four inscribed lines decorate the body of the weight, with the two central lines separated by 2mm and the two outer lines separated from the inner lines by 3-5mm. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rob Collins | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
