Römisches bis Frühes Mittelalter Sammlung von sieben antiken Handelsgewichten (Ohne mindestpreis)

A fascinating collection of seven ancient trade weights made from bronze and lead-alloy materials, dating broadly from the Roman to early Medieval period (circa 1st–10th century AD). Such weights were essential tools for merchants, traders, and craftsmen engaged in everyday commerce. The group includes several different shapes, including circular, square, and irregular forms, each displaying distinctive markings and surface patterns. Some pieces feature incised lines, dotted motifs, and radial designs, which may have served as identification marks or weight indicators used by merchants and market officials. Trade weights like these were commonly used in marketplaces, ports, and trade routes throughout the Roman and early medieval worlds. They ensured fairness in transactions involving goods such as grain, spices, metals, textiles, and other valuable commodities. The variation in shapes and decorative markings reflects the regional diversity of weight systems used across different cultures and time periods. Similar weights are known from Roman trading contexts as well as later early medieval commercial networks. All pieces display attractive ancient patinas with mineral deposits and wear, consistent with long use and burial. Together they form a compelling group that illustrates the practical tools of ancient trade and commerce. This collection provides a tangible connection to the economic life of antiquity, when standardized weights were crucial for maintaining trust in markets and long-distance trade. Material: Bronze / Lead alloy Culture: Roman – Early Medieval trade context Date: Circa 1st–10th century AD Quantity: 7 weights Condition: Good ancient condition with patina and wear consistent with age.
