Object type: STEELYARD WEIGHT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: the Vale of Glamorgan
Workflow stage: Published
Bi-conical lead steelyard weight. Fairly squat example with the lower part in particular being more spherical than conical, in fact the very bottom is flat, allowing the weight to sit upright. Traces of an iron suspension loop survive at the top. The general form is typical of a Roman steelyard weight but at over 900g it is a rather heavy example (300-400g being more typical) and it is difficult to find a close parallel for it. Plain, function items, such as this, are always difficult to date in isolation, so while a Roman date is the most likely a more modern date must remain a possib…
