Archaeological description
Autoptic examination:
Roman stone weight; the lower half is dark, while the upper half is brown with some beige veins. The piece appears rather worn, with a dent along the round body and some scratches over the bases. In the centre of the upper base, eight dots are incised to form the letter S (some dots, however, are hardly visible due to wear); the other base is plain. The diameter of both bases measures 1.37 cm.
