Title
Lead Weight from Redbourne
Description
English: Lead

Weight. Cast sub-rectangular weight. The upper surface bears a probably moulded lipped edge, and a number of small round punch-marks of diameter 1mm are scattered randomly across it. The border has subsequently been enhanced by a thin inscribed line, which continues as an un-ruled X extending corner to corner. Patinated overall. The mass suggests this may be a Roman weight representing eight drachmae (3.41gm) or one uncia (27.3gm), though the Roman system continued in use into Anglo-Saxon times. A weight such as this would be used with a set of balancing scales. Suggested date: Roman to Early Medieval, 40-800.

Length: 29.2mm, Width: 26.7mm, Thickness: 4mm, Weight: 26.28gms.
