Quote:Foto taken in Sofia Archaeological museumThanks Stefan! The first one that I know that actually came from Bulgaria!
Any info on weight, dating and place of origin perhaps?
Is that shaft torqued or smooth?
Thanks for the picture, especially since you braved the guards, much appreciated!
Quote: Damien/Kervenec/Miles Sylvanus from Herculiani told me that he handed some in Serbia. According to him and some articles he read, the iron and lead are about 110-150g and the length between 8 an 16,5 cmHi Grég, could you please ask me about that information? Notes perhaps? The articles?
Quote:If you have some informations on archaelogical weights and lenghts, I'm interested in, I try to make a board and graph on the question.I have information about up to 121 plumbatae. I like to think that it's quite a database. :wink:
Lenghts vary a lot, but most seem to be between 110 and 140 mm. Weights also vary a lot, and information about that is extremely sparse (of the 121, I know only the weight of 17 of them!) but most seem between 70 and 115 grams.[/quote]
