<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3121814, member: 75525&quot;]Three scale weights arrived recently. This one looks like it has a wolf or wolf and twins on it. Take a look and see what you think. I have not deciphered the lines / letters below the exergee line, but on the right side there might be an A to indicate a Roman As = 327 grams.</p><p>[ATTACH]794492[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH]794495[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]794496[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Barrel Shaped Bronze Scale Weight, 326 gram, with Silver Inlay</p><p><br /></p><p>This weight is the largest of three scale weights I purchased recently. The seller&#039;s pic, Timeline Auctions, and a side view are shown first above. A similar 326 gram weight sold 3 months earlier and is the next pic. Both were advertised as Viking, but look a lot like Roman barrel weights. They have the right weight for a Roman pound or As.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]794493[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]794494[/ATTACH] </p><p>It is not east to see the wolf, but I have a good imagination. I think the wolf is like the AP coin below where the wolf&#039;s head is not turned back.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]794497[/ATTACH] </p><p>A pic of a 6 ounce (yes that is a half As weight) shows how similar the weights look.</p><p>[ATTACH]794499[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]794502[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
