semunica? reverse S
« on: May 23, 2016, 01:12:10 am »
Lead with reverse S
14.8 g; 20 by 19 by 3 mm beveled edges
Initially I considered it a semuncia but am having second thoughts.
S is 6?

what do you think

thanks for considering!

It seems to be a roman weight made of lead.
Turn the picture 180° clockwise and you will see a lying reversilbe Capital S.
This sign stands for 1/2  uncia =12 scripula=1 semunica = 13,6 g
Sorry, I don't know the reason for the overweight but ist is possible sometimes
