Description

Ca. AD 100 - 300.
A Roman pottery weight of a red colour and discoidal shape. Roman weights were essential tools in the ancient world, playing a crucial role in commerce, trade, and daily life. These weights were typically made of stone, bronze, or lead, and varied in size and shape depending on their intended use. The Roman weight system was based on the libra, with smaller units such as the uncia (ounce) and the sextans (sixth) being commonly used. These weights were used in markets for measuring goods, ensuring fairness and accuracy in transactions.
Size: 200mm x 210mm; Weight: 2.2kg
Provenance: Property of a North London gentleman; formerly in a European Collection, France, bought in Paris in the 1990s.
