|Holy| |Land| |Antiquities|, |Holyland,| |Hellenistic| |Greek,| |Pottery| |Oil| |Pouring| |Vessel,| |3rd| |Century| |B.C.|
Many ancient cites the Holyland were centers of Hellenic culture, beginning from early in the Hellenic Period, and remaining so under Hasmonean, Herodian, and Roman rule. Some of these Hellenic cities, those that became the Decapolis under Rome, included Scythopolis (modern Bet She'an, Israel), Hippos, Gadara, Raphana, Dion (or Dium), Pella, Gerasa, Philadelphia (modern Amman, Jordan), Canatha, and Damascus (capital of modern Syria).

Byzantine, Lead Bulla Seal, c. 6th Century A.D.

|Byzantine| |Seals|, |Byzantine,| |Lead| |Bulla| |Seal,| |c.| |6th| |Century| |A.D.||seal|
Reading a block monogram of such complexity as on the present Byzantine seal can be maddening, like a quadratic or more complex polynomial equation whose solutions are all found to be reasonable. The inherent ambiguity of many block monograms may have been one reason why they fell out of favor during the seventh century A.D. Nevertheless, through patient study, some possible clues have been squeezed out of ours. The monogram may in fact combine a personal name with the office of a bishop (written in the genitive, EΠICKOΠOY, or "of the bishop") or perhaps even an archbishop (APXIEΠICKOΠOY). The person's name is a much trickier question with multiple possibilities, including Markou, Mariou, Marianou, Maurikiou, Eukarpiou, or even Kyprianou (all transliterated into English in genitive form). Another, less probable, possibility is an unidentified eparch (bishop of an eparchy or diocese).
BZ114045. Lead seal, cf. Zacos BLS 1208 (for very similar obv.); DOC BZS.1951.31.5.3062 (for similar seal with block monogram), Choice gVF, attractive, yellow oxide patina, weight 10.259 g, maximum diameter 22.1 mm, die axis 330o, c. 6th century A.D.; obverse facing bust of Virgin Hodeghetria, nimbate, wearing tunic and maphorion, holding infant Christ on her left arm/shoulder, nimbate, wearing tunic and himation, dove (i.e., the Holy Spirit) above, cross pattιe behind; reverse complex block monogram, containing the letters A, Y, E (lunate), I, K, Π, Ο, P, C, and M and/or X, and possibly N; extremely rare; $200.00 (€188.00)
