摘要:The 33 bronze weights from the Late Antiquity Collection in the Archaeological Museum in Split are catalogued in this paper. They exhibit the oldest (spherical) shape of commercial weights, used throughout the territory of the Eastern and Western Empires. Most of them have Greek or Latin letters on their surfaces as designations of their mass, while on six of them it is impossible to ascertain the markings due to considerable damage. A total of 24 weights originated in Solin (Salona), one is from Gardun (Tilurium), while the archaeological context and circumstances are unknown for eight weights. The weights have been dated to the period spanning the third to sixth centuries.
