Byzantine Lead Seal
« on: October 11, 2019, 03:10:41 pm »
Hi there folks. I have found this seal recently and i did some digging about it on the internet. I have managed to read some of the letters but some of them are not visible so I would like to know about the inscriptions of this seal and which century it belongs to. Thanks for the help

THe obverse shows Saint Thomas. THe reverse names Niketas, who probably was a metropolitan bishop. His bishopric is mentioned in the last 2 lines. It would help if we knew where it was found.
