AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Byzantine.
Ca. 400–700 AD.
Bronze, 8-23.5 mm, 0.89-28.11 g.
Item details:
— 8 mm / 0.89 g
— 23.5 mm / 28.11 g
— 18.8 mm / 26.5 g
Reference: Cf. Bendall, Byzantine Weights: An Introduction.
Provenance: Bought between 2025 and 2026 at German and Dutch auction houses. Purchase invoices on file; earlier ownership not recorded by the auction houses.
Byzantine bronze commercial weights reflect the highly regulated economy of the early empire. Based on Roman libra and uncia standards, they were used to verify quantities in markets, workshops and official transactions. Crosses, Greek numerals and occasional silver inlay identified denominations and reinforced imperial authority, offering direct evidence for everyday trade, taxation and administration.
