LIBRAE AND UNCIAE FROM METROPOLIS

Öz

This study covers four librae and three unciae lead and bronze weights including one uncertain lead weight discovered in different periods and sectors of the ancient city of Metropolis. The presence of the names of agoranomoi on some libra weights makes them even more significant. The lead weights are dated to the Roman Imperial period. The bronze one belongs to Byzantine era. A mold stone discovered in Metropolis in the 1980s was used to understand the measurement units and production characteristics of balance weights examined in this study. Based on this comparison, it is estimated that one of the libra weights was produced using this particular mold stone. Although primary focus of the article is identification of the weights through their units, reflections of social and commercial life in the city have also been incorporated into the study, particularly through weights bearing agoranomos inscription. By analyzing their contexts, usage areas, units, and inscriptions, including some previously published examples, we gain insights into their nature. Given their significance for dating, the archaeological contexts of the weights are also presented in detail.
