Weight

Weight

Roman

This is a truncated biconical weight. Two stamped concentric circles decorate one face, and may have decorated the other face as well, although it is now too worn to distinguish. There does seem to be the hint of a depression, however, on that worn face. The weight has a green patina with a tan coating.

Bronze
