Hi all, i found this weight last weekend and it has taken me a week to find out a bit about it.
Lead alloy, crudely cast, fair size 'loom' type roman weight.
Weight 156g.
Thanks for looking!

Hi Garryson, great Find! Always happy to look at Roman finds and i havent seen one of these yet. Im pretty sure i wouldnt have thought its something special so im glad you posted this! bye GA
 
Cool find and good research! :thumbsup:
 
nice find,, almost looks like it was used as a hammer on that 1 end..lol
 
Definitely a Lead counter balance weight of some type, and a good chance of it being Roman...great find :icon_thumright:
