Les instruments de mesure (poids, capacité, temps) dans l'Algérie romaine

A groundbreaking study of Roman Algeria reveals previously undocumented and rare instruments for measuring weight, capacity, and time, including two unique vertical dihedral sundials from Djémila and a distinctive ponderarium from the market of Cosinius. These findings, derived from systematic archaeological, epigraphic, and metrological analyses, shed new light on the economic, commercial, and technical organization of Roman cities in Algeria. The research also highlights the integration of these instruments into daily life and their typological diversity, contributing significantly to the understanding of Roman Africa's material culture.
