Catalogue of the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Weights from Ödemiş Museum (Türkiye)

This article examines 28 weights from the collection of the Ödemiş Museum, a local museum located in western Anatolia. Two of the weights are attributed to Colophon due to the presence of a parasemon, while two others were produced by Ionian cities during the Roman Imperial period and used in local markets. Some weights dated to the Hellenistic period cannot be attributed to specific cities due to the absence of a parasemon or ethnic, yet they are significant for the unit marks they bear. It is clear that the magistrate names found on some of the weights may offer noteworthy contributions to research in this field. The remaining weights are from the Roman and Byzantine periods and include examples of uncia and nomisma weights, along with their subunits.

Abstract

This article examines 28 weights from the collection of the Ödemiş Museum, a local museum located in western Anatolia. Two of the weights are attributed to Colophon due to the presence of a parasemon, while two others were produced by Ionian cities during the Roman Imperial period and used in local markets. Some weights dated to the Hellenistic period cannot be attributed to specific cities due to the absence of a parasemon or ethnic, yet they are significant for the unit marks they bear. It is clear that the magistrate names found on some of the weights may offer noteworthy contributions to research in this field. The remaining weights are from the Roman and Byzantine periods and include examples of uncia and nomisma weights, along with their subunits.
