Description: | Lead weight. Cast cylindrical weight. One flat surface bears the deeply stamped impression of a circle of diameter 5.4mm produced with a hollow-ended implement. A similar circle is stamped on the opposite flat face. Here it is accompanied by, and apparently cuts and hence post-dates, a series of four straight incised lines. Patinated overall. The mass of the object might suggest it to represent four Roman unciae or ounces (of 27.3gms), a value to which the surface markings may refer. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410.Diameter: 32.4mm, Thickness: 14.1mm, Weight: 112.41gms.
