Weights
8; RIC X, p. 8. VF, dark brown patina, red earthen deposits. Rare.
During the later Roman Empire, coin weights began appearing with the legend
exagium solidi
, a phrase which has often been translated as “the weight (or weighing) of a solidus”, in order to deal with the practice of clipping.
Exagium
derives from the Latin
exigere
(lit. “to drive out”). However, extant examples of these weights vary and some weigh much less than the 4.5 g of a full-weight solidus. These lighter weights are thought to possibly represent the lowest acceptable weight for aurei, and were used to withdraw under-weight solidi from circulation and thereby maintain an acceptable weight standard minimum for solidi to circulate at full value.
