Öztürk and Güler 2023: Description: Square in form with raised and beveled edges and a broken tab; worn and corroded. (A): Letter ‘S’ as a unit mark rotated 180° counterclockwise. (B): Inscription in three lines. Inscription technique: Relief. Material: Lead. Inv. No: PMA 2313; Date of Acquisition: 2007; Findspot: Selçuk. City: Ephesos (?); Region: Ionia (?). Dimensions: 25 × 24.5 × 3 mm; LH: (A): 11 mm; (B): 13 mm. Weight: 13.64 g; 13.65 g [CPAI III 1]. Metrology: Half-Uncia. Edition: CPAI III 1, cat. no. 583. Date: IInd-IIIrd centuries CE. The personal name appears on side B, and the presence of an interpunct at the beginning of the line clearly indicates that an abbreviated praenomen is missing in line 1. Additionally, the letter ‘Φ’ in the same line likely denotes an abbreviated nomen, while the cognomen, spanning between line 1 and line 3, can be completed as ‘Aristion’ in the genitive. Titus Flavius Aristion on an honorary inscription found in Ephesos9 and the person on this half-uncia weight might be the same person.
