Lead probable steelyard weight. Cast conical lead weight with small apical hole and a larger hole in its base. It is just possible that the body of the weight was cast in two stages, and probable that it was cast in an open mould, inferences from the appearance of the base with shrinkage lines and/or a discernible separation between two putative stages of manufacture. A tall plano-convex form might appear on a Roman steelyard weight whence the iron hook was withdrawn before deposition - hence there is no trace of rust staining. Dave Haldenby kindly notes that this weight could be con…

Lead and iron steelyard weight.Cast ovoid or onion-shaped lead weight with basal bulge and a transverse iron bar across the top. The lead is patinated but the iron uncorroded.

Lead and iron steelyard weight. Cast conical weight with the stub of an embedded iron loop at its apex. Dimpling of the flat base may suggest this was uppermost when the object was cast - or recast - in an open mould. The latter suggestion arises from a supplementary layer of lead which has congealed around the lower broader part of the object, presumably as a measure to adjust the poise. This adjustment brings its mass close to one averdepois pound [454gms], perhaps for use as a standing weight, which might hint at later alteration. Patinated. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410, possibly …

Lead and iron steelyard weight. Cast sub-rectangular lead weight of tapering profile with part of an iron suspension hook or rim in the top. This form is less common than the biconical type of suspended weight, and may represent the improvisation of a weight. Suggested date: Probably Roman, 43-410 AD. Height: 40.9mm, Width: 27.4mm, Thickness: 12.1mm, Weight: 65.08gms.

Lead and iron steelyard weight. Cast biconvex weight with an iron pin projecting as an apical loop, and as a spike from the base, this was possibly also looped but its stub is now merely bifurcated.
