Description: | Lead possible Weight. Object apparently made by coiling a square section strip of lead into a tight disc, possibly heated thereafter to fuse the adjacent surfaces. Patinated overall. The mass may suggest this to represent 2 drachmas (of 3.41gms) in the Roman system of measurement, though these units are thought to have continued in use in Anglo-Saxon times, with their derivatives in use later still. Suggested date: possibly Roman, 40-400.Diameter: 17.3mm, Thickness: 4.2mm, Weight: 6.80gms.
