A lead alloy weight, probably a net weight. It has been formed by rolling a circular flat piece of lead alloy, possibly around a narrow diameter former, and the arc shaped flap of the material can thus be seen along one side of the narrow weight. It is cylindrical in shape but wider in the centre than the ends, because of the circular plate from which it is made. It has an even, light brown patina.Such weights were used over a long period of time and are difficult to date. For example, LANCUM-4FF9DB is dated to the Roman period, NARC-2DF5D1 is attribu…
