Title |
Probable Roman: Probable Steelyard weight |
||
Description |
English: An incomplete lead or lead alloy steelyard weight, of probable Roman dating (1st to 2nd Century AD).
The weight is hemispherical (flat top, domed base) in shape. The remains of an iron suspension loop are running through the length of the weight. It measures 35.2 mm tall, with a maximum diameter of 42.7 mm. It weighs 395.3 g (13.94 oz). The weight is a light grey to off white colour, with an even surface patina. Similar biconical weights have been found associated with Roman steelyards, such as WMID-184456 and WMID-049777 and can be dated from 1st to 2nd Centuries AD. However lead weights due to being a functional artefact, can continue being used until the Late Medieval period. |
