Description: | LeadWeight. Possible Steelyard Weight. Flat based cylindrical weight with central round aperture of diameter 6.7mm; the aperture is distorted to sub-triangular form on the flat base. This reporter has considered a similar object as a possible weight for a plumbata, or weighted dart, in which case the central hole would accommodate a short shaft and an iron arrowhead at its rounded end, with the further flighted extent of the shaft protruding from the flat end. Suggested date: Possibly Roman, 40-400. Diameter: 35.2mm, Height: 39.3mm, Weight: circa 285gms
