AEQUIPON'DIUM (σήκωμα). The equipoise or moveable weight attached to a steel-yard (statera), and balance (libra, Vitruv. x. 3, 4.). A great many of these have been found at Pompeii and elsewhere, mostly made of bronze, and of some fanciful device, such as the example (Aequipondium/1.1) produced, which is taken from a Pompeian original.
