Late Roman / early Byzantine weights

I first posted on the weighing of late Roman and early Byzantine coins in May 2018. This post is an update on my collection of weights from the period. The weights are either marked on nomismata (solidi), scripula grammata or ounces. The design either engraved or punched in , sometimes quite shallow and at times is enhanced by silver inlay.

There is overlap between commercial weights and the coin weights. Although I don't have an example there are some weights known marked with both the weight in solidi and ounces.

1 ounce = 6 solidi = 24 scripula

Machine Tokens update

I have now uploaded the full collection of around 330 pieces, mostly British, as a PDF that can either be viewed online or downloaded. I've tried to include as many Hayes references as possible.
