Quote:Our plumbatas weigh around 300 grams.Mine weigh 200+ (the new ones) and 220- (the older ones). I wonder if that accounts for a greater range...
Quote:We should work more seriously on the subject. Now I have had access to real Roman plumbatae and I feel that the weight and shape of the weights on ours should be modified.We should, maybe something to think about this summer?
In what way should they be modified? Heavier or lighter?
