Description: | Roman cast lead alloy conical weight with an iron suspension loop at the top point and slightly concave base. The loop is made of a semi circle of circular sectioned iron bar, embedded in the lead at both ends. It is 21.7mm in diameter and 29.4mm tall including the loop; it weighs 82.67 grams. Biconical steelyard weights with iron suspension loops are common in the Roman period and although this is conical rather than biconical it is probably Roman in date.
