Archaeological description
Autoptic examination:
Lead weight. The convex area is plain, while the circular base presents markings in relief (severely damaged), resembling two heads of man looking at each other. All around the circumference, there was an inscription, in raised letters now erased. A few letters are still visible; the rest is illegible due to corrosion and wear.
