(en) For the first time, the Survey of Numismatic Research has devoted a specific section to ancient and Byzantine weights. The INC committee’s decision reflects the impressive development the field has undergone in the last decades. However, in line with the editorial policy of the Survey, this chapter will not include publications prior to 2014, except for a few corpora and reference works. Even so, we have to cover an extensive timeframe, from the Bronze Age to Byzantine times, and thereby a large geographical area, which roughly corresponds to the Imperium Romanum at its largest extent. Our selection highlights the publication of new reference works, new analytical methods — including archaeometry — and new material — especially the weights discovered in an archaeological context.
