Description: | Roman lead steelyard weight with remains of an embedded iron suspension loop, biconical with a convex median band, in abraded condition with a small part missing. Height 30mm. Diameter 26mm. Weight 54.27 (the closeness to 2 Roman ounces (unciae), c.54g, is probably coincidental because there is no need for a steelyard weight to conform to an exact weight unit). Mid 1st - 4th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
