Dear Makis, Thanks, although only one of these is an actual weight. If you have it at hand, is the IEJ item a true Seleucid weight in that it employs Seleucid...
Regarding my last post, I'd like to correct myself: the weights from Israel are -- as far as I know -- civic, not royal, if that makes a difference. Dr. Danny...
