Description: | An incomplete Roman lead steelyard weight, dating to the period c. AD 43-410. The weight is circular in cross section and bi-conical in plan. At its apex is a corroded iron suspension loop. It expands out towards its middle before narrowing again towards its lower terminus. There are two worn and corroded iron projections at this terminus, which are the remains of a second suspension loop. The weight is cream in colour, with a purple-black patina in some areas. The weight measures 38.07mm in length, 30.59mm in diameter at its widest and 11.88 at its narrowest. It weighs 118.18g.
