Özet

In this brief paper we present a collection of 39 inscribed bronze and lead weights curated in the Archaeological Museum of Hatay in south-western Turkey. All the weights are inscribed with Greek letters or numerals, and are held in the museum by acquisition. At least a part of these weights originate most probably from the region or city of Antioch-on-the-Orontes. Some of them bear concentric rings on their underside and most of these belong to the Late Roman–Early Byzantine period.
