A unique weight of Valerios Roufos
Lot 5784
LEVANTINE REGION. Uncertain. Circa 1st century BC to 2nd century AD. Weight of 1 Mina (Lead, 77.83 mm, 458.00 g), Valerios Roufos, magistrate. ΕΠI - OYAΛЄPIOY POYΦOY Ladle (?). Rev. Blank. Pondera 13351 (this piece). Unique and interesting. A few minor bangs and scratches on the reverse, otherwise, very fine.

From a Swiss collection of ancient weights, ex Leu 7, 24-25 October 2020, 2001.

The object on the obverse of this interesting weight perhaps represents a ladle used to measure goods such as grain, certainly an appropriate symbol for a market weight. Where exactly it was produced is unclear, but the Roman name of the magistrate suggests a dating to the first centuries of the imperial period.
