Red Slip Ware with Stamp from Caesarea Maritima
« on: August 08, 2023, 09:07:52 pm »
Hi all.  Here is a waterworn fragment of red-slip ware with stamp, apparently in cursive script, that I can't figure out.  I am not even certain which way is up, or if it might be some sort of figural representation or a cartouche.  Any ideas or leads to illustrated references would be greatly appreciated.  Jimi (V-drome)

Despite the look of the stamp these are almost always letters, sometimes in ligature (monogram-like).

Thank you, Shawn.  Thanks to that great reference you posted for my VMBI fragment, I may have found a match for another fragment reading "XANTHVS", which I am posting separately, today. 

Best regards, Jimi
