🇲🇹 F’waħda mill-kmamar tad-Dar Storika tal-Gran Kastell, il-viżitaturi jistgħu josservaw varjetà ta’ kejl, piżijiet u mwieżen differenti, li fl-antik kienu jintużaw fil-ħwienet tal-merċa, spiżeriji, mill-bejjiegħa tal-qubbajt u negozjanti oħra. ⚖
Dawn l-għodda kienu parti integrali mill-ħajja ta’ kuljum, u ħafna xiri u bejgħ ma setax isir mingħajrhom.
Ir-ritratti juru:
1️⃣ Stasiji bil-ganċijiet, biex jintiżnu oġġetti tqal
2️⃣ Miżien li jiddendel, tal-ħanut tal-merċa
3️⃣ Miżien tal-ispiżjar
4️⃣ Piż tar-ram isfar, ekwivalenti għal ratal (800g)
🇬🇧 In one of the ground floor rooms at the Gran Castello Historic House, visitors can discover a variety of traditional weights and measures, along with scales and balances once used by grocers, pharmacists, nougat-sellers and other tradesmen in bygone days. ⚖
These tools played a crucial role in everyday life, as many commercial transactions were based on accurately weighed goods.
Seen here are:
1️⃣ Steelyards with hooks, for weighing heavy loads
2️⃣ Hanging grocer’s scales
3️⃣ A pharmacy steelyard balance with hanging pan
4️⃣ Brass weight equivalent to 800g
