Description: | Roman lead biconical steelyard weight with the remains of an embedded iron suspension loop. Diameter 26mm. Height 24mm. It is perhaps a coincidence that the weight is almost exactly 2.5 x 1 Roman ounce (uncia) of c.27.08g, for there is no need for a steelyard weight to relate to a fixed weight system. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
