The Diocese of Halberstadt was a Roman Catholic diocese from 804 until 1648.

Byzantine Empire, Lead Bulla Seal, Saint George, Alexios, c. 11th Century A.D.
The first 'theta' on the obverse is actually a symbol for "the Saint" derived from a ligature of A inside O abbreviating the Greek, Ho Aγιος. Not many Greek names start with ALE, so this is perhaps Alexandros or, more common and likely by this time, Alexios.ME99068.
