<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 6229408, member: 75525&quot;][USER=110226]@robinjojo[/USER] It does not look like a coin weight to me. Most of the scale weights I have seen are smoothed more than this piece. I would expect to see adjustment marks to bring the weight to some standard.</p><p>I am not familiar with Greek weights. Most scale weights do not match a standard unless the person who cleans the weight cleans off just enough to match the standard desired. This lead weight is a bit heavier than yours. The seller described it: One quarter Mina (Tetarton) scale weight, Levantine region of Northern Syria, circa 250 – 100 BC. It weighs 114 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]1246367[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1246368[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Your piece is close to 3 Roman ounces = 82 grams. The scale weights below are machined. The first pic is 3 ounces. The second pic has 3, 2, 1 and half ounce weights.</p><p>[ATTACH]1246361[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1246362[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>How did your seller describe the piece?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
