Tekin 2024: Hemilitron (or Triton), Pb 172.6 g, 51x71 mm. Inv. no. 711. Lead weight, square in form with raised and beveled edges and a suspension lug on the top. Unpublished. On the top is a pomegranate with stalk within a rectangular frame with raised edges. No ethnic or unit name. It may be a hemilitron (345.2 g) or triton in unit (mna of 517.8 g). The bottom is blank. The previous weight with a pomegranate and this one differ in terms of fabric and style from each other; the latter is surely later chronologically. However, since these two weights bear a pomegranate on their obverses, they were placed next to each other. The fabric and form of the latter weight suggest a hemilitron from the very end of the first century BC, or more plausibly, from the Imperial Period.
