Description: | A lead probable weight of uncertain date, Roman to Post Medieval. The flat drop-shaped weight has a circular perforation at the tapered end. The only mark appears to be a lightly stamped circle on the upper (more rounded) face. The weight is 57.4mm long, 36.3mm wide and 11mm thick. 152g. Compare NLM-EF9D40, HESH-7E435E and SWYOR-771593. The mass of the object does not directly correspond to any of the most common systems of measurement. The closest option is probably half of a Roman libra at 164g, but the weight is not typically Roman in style.
