One of the
weights missing from the charts above is a libra version of the “three arch”
type (which shows actually the façade of a
basilica?).
An example of this
type from the Menil
collection is however shown in
Bendall as No. 50 (with no
weight), and this
weight is listed In Pondera as Item 3914, with a
weight of 320.05 gm.
Pictures of this
weight can be found an article on the Menil
weights by Vikan & Nesbitt now (2019) available on the Academia site, and separately in a 1980 article on "
Security in
Byzantium" by the same authors also available on Academia.
These pictures are shown below - the images are a
bit obscure but I have brightened them up as best I can. Note the odd differences between the images - particularly the
legend. Has the
weight been cleaned between the two photos?
