13th Century Scale and Weights: A Glimpse into Medieval Baltic Commerce This evocative image transports us back to the 13th century, showcasing a fascinating artifact from the rich history of the Baltic region. The reproduction above depicts a meticulously detailed miniature, where a bearded man intently focuses on the delicate task of weighing silver using a scale. Below, the remains of an authentic 13th-century scale and its accompanying platinum weights are displayed at the Museum of History and Navigation in Riga, Latvia. The Baltic States, nestled in Northern Europe, played a significant role in medieval commerce. Merchants from various European nations traveled to these lands, exchanging goods and establishing trade routes. The intricately crafted scale and weights serve as a testament to the economic importance of the region during this time. The man in the miniature, with his fur-trimmed cloak and serious expression, represents the skilled craftsmen and traders who ensured that transactions were fair and accurate. The scale, a crucial tool in the economic system of the Middle Ages, was essential for measuring the weight of precious metals like silver. The numbers etched into the scale's pan and the weights indicate the precision and care taken during this era to maintain a reliable and efficient trading system. The platinum weights, a valuable and durable material, would have been used to calibrate the scale and ensure consistent measurements. This image offers a captivating glimpse into the economic and historical significance of the Baltic States during the Middle Ages. The Museum of History and Navigation in Riga preserves and showcases these precious relics, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of a bygone era.
