  Hasta ahora, apenas ha sido investigada la metrología celtibérica, a excepción de pesos monetarios. A base de las medidas de adobes prerromanos, se propone un pie celtibérico de 24 cm. En cuanto a los pesos, podemos aceptar un módulo de 9 g para joyas de plata y algunas monedas de bronce;

  sin embargo, las pesas de telar no se conforman a ninguno sistema metrológico. Con el tiempo, se adopta- ron medidas romanas de largura (como indican las dimensiones de ladrillos, tejas y monumentos arquitec- tónicos) y de peso.

  however, loom weights do not conform to any metrological system. Over time, Roman measures of length (as indicated by the dimensions of bricks, tiles and architectural monuments) and weight were adopted
