To pay in gold: the phoenician weight of the Teatro Cómico of Cadiz
Abstract
The study of a Phoenician weight found in the “Teatro Cómico” de Cádiz, in one of the rooms of the site, is presented. It is a domestic context with dates of abandonment around the years 760-750 B.C. The specific details of the archaeological excavation have already been published and it is ruled out that the room could be related to a place of worship. Even so, it is a very relevant finding as it is possible to study the ponderal in a well-dated and documented archaeological context, all in the area of Phoenician Cádiz in the mid-8th century BC.
