Islamic Lead Tessera from Caesarea Maritima LT111
« on: November 04, 2022, 07:35:04 pm »
Hi, all.  Any help with date and translation on this lead tessera would be appreciated.  I apologize for the poor condition, but this is the best photo I have been able to get so far.

BCC LT111
Lead Tessera
Caesarea Maritima
Uncertain Date
Obv: Islamic inscription in two lines, with a base line below. 
The second I think is الله,  I'm not sure about the first.  I thought
maybe "Rasul", since I can see the "Sh", but there is no "waw".
Rev: Uncertain inscription, one line.
Dia. 14.5 x 13 x 1.25mm Weight: 1.41gm.
Surface find Caesarea Maritima, 1974
J. Berlin Caesarea Collection
(click for large pic)

Thanks for any ideas, V-drome
