Can it be a roman seal? Small, rectangular, with letters

(1/2) > >>

AquilaSPQR:
I got this one in the roman lot. I have no idea about ancient lead seals and there is much less info about ancient seals than ancient coins on the Internet. It seems there's MSSE[?] there, MSSEC, MSSEQ or MSSEO. Letters look quite old, so I think it's older than XIX century. I've also found a bit similar one here:

Any information about this one would be greatly appreciated.

SC:
The lettering certainly looks Roman.  If this was larger and found as a bread stamp or brick stamp I would not doubt it was Roman.

Not sure how and for what such a tiny stamp could be used but maybe others know.

Yes, definitely Roman.
