<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Black Friar, post: 4643277, member: 76221&quot;]A twelve nummi weight, probably for commercial purposes.&nbsp; Do a google for Byzantine weights.&nbsp; Best I can do for now. I never got into that particular area of </p><p>Byzantine numismatics. Ok, I just remembered that I have a copy of Simon Bendals book <i>Byzantine Weights an Introduction.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>All Byz weights were based upon the Roman pound the <i>litra </i>which was 12 oz&#039;s.&nbsp; Your weight is IB Byzantine, or XII Roman.&nbsp; Your weight is 1/12 of an ounce on that scale.&nbsp; &quot;I&quot; is one, &quot;B&quot; is two...so 1/12 of the pound, an Uncia.&nbsp; I hope this helps.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are interested in the book, really pamphlet in size and 68 pages, 6 inches wide and 17 tall.&nbsp; It&#039;s printed on very good stock and is soft covered.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best regards[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
