BCC LSR17 Rectangular Lead Seal -MM-?
|
Rectangular Lead Seal
Roman 1st-3rd Century CE
Obv: ?MM? Rev: M?M
Mis-strikes and multiple strikes make
this one very difficult to read. The flan
could also have been flipped between
strikes. Possibly AMM-? on one side,
though the "A"could just be a remnant
of the first "M". The underside, also
mis-struck, may read M?M. The shapes
of the letters seem very similar in many
respects to the inscription on LSR16, but
I am unable to determine whether they
may be from the same dies.
