Archaeological description
Tekin 2024: Three-Uncia. Pb 83.90 g, 39x43x9 mm (including handle). Inv. no. 2.28.12. Find place: uncertain. Acquired in 2012. Lead weight, square in form with raised and beveled edges, handle at the top. On the obverse, Γ in relief which stands for “three”. It is a three-uncia in unit (uncia of 27.96 g). On the reverse, ΤΙΤΦ / ΣΑΤ / ΝΕΙΝ. Τίτ(ους) Φ(λαουίου) Σατ[ορ]νείν[ου]. Although the name Saturninus is seen in the inscriptions in the cities of western Asia Minor, a certain Titus Flavius Saturninus who was responsible for issuing the weight, is attested in Ephesus. It dates to the Roman Imperial period.
