The Greek weights of the historic period here shown are mainly of two leading standards, known as the Aeginetan and the Solonian or Attic. The standard weight of the Aeginetan system was the heavy mina of 9,722 grains (about 1-2/5 lb. avoirdupois). The Solonian (Euboic) mina weighed normally 6,737 grains (nearly 1 lb. avoirdupois), but there was a special heavy mina in use which weighed exactly double the normal. This last was the original mina introduced by Solon, which gradually gave way to the light mina of half its weight. Weights of the Aeginetan and Solonian systems are here exhibited. Through incompleteness or inaccuracy they often show considerable variation from the norm. The mina was subdivided into 100 drachmae, and the drachma into 6 obols. Certain stamped devices distinguish these Attic weights, viz., the astragalos or knuckle-bone, the amphora, the tortoise, the dolphin, and the crescent. Fig. 194 shows three weights of the later Solonian standard: (_a_) a mina in lead stamped with a dolphin and inscribed [Greek: MNA] (7,010 grs.) (No. =461=); (_b_) a half mina in lead (3,399 grs.) with the device of a tortoise and the inscription [Greek: DÊMO] (= [Greek: dêmou]), "of the people," (No. =462=); and (_c_) a bronze weight of 4 drachmae (283 grs.) stamped with an amphora and the word [Greek: TESSARES] (No. =463=). Sometimes a half tortoise occurs, as in No. =464=, a quarter mina, or a half amphora, as on No. =465=, a one-third mina. Various other standards are represented in this Case, _e.g._ that of Kyzikos in Asia Minor, but these need not be particularly described. A noteworthy weight is the bronze one (No. =466=), in the form of a series of rising steps, inscribed on the top [Greek: DIOS]. This probably is a temple-weight, very likely used to weigh votive objects. Weights of a similar type have been found at Olympia. The peculiar series of stone weights (No. =467=) decorated with female breasts was found in the precincts of the temple of Demeter at Knidos, and may be regarded as temple-weights, probably made as a votive offering. They do not seem to correspond to any known standard. Some weights are marked as standards. A lead weight of 10,863 grains, with a design of two cornucopias (No. =468=) is inscribed [Greek: Etous dls' dêmosia mna], _i.e._, "In the year 234 a public (or standard) mina." The date is probably by the Seleucid era, and equivalent to 78 B.C. Another example is the large square weight from Herakleia in Bithynia, with a head of Herakles in relief (No. =469=; fig. 195). It is inscribed "To the divine Augusti and the people" ([Greek: theois Sebastois kai tô damô]) on the rim in front, and on the sides with the names of the aediles P. Clodius Rufus and Tertius Vacilius (weight 41,494 grs., nearly 6 lb. avoirdupois). We have instances of weights of artistic form in these Cases. The hanging weights from steelyards in particular (No. =470=; fig. 195) are often in the form of a head or bust.
