Roman Bronze Statera - Beam, Hooks, Chain, ex-Sotheby's

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $200**

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. A steelyard (statera) balance consisting of a rectangular beam, several hanging hooks, and a fragmentary chain. The face of the beam is sectioned using incised Roman numerals to mark the weight. Steelyard balances were used to weight loads by moving a counterweight along the beam until it balanced and then reading the incised numeral. Vitruvius describes them and their function in his De Architectura, Book X, 3-4. Size: 16.5" W (41.9 cm)

Provenance: ex-Sotheby’s New York, USA, June 6, 2006, part of Lot 117
