FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 07/16/2013 11:20 am Curious piece. I am no expert on seals but the ones I have seen are usually 'carved' into a stone. Looks more like a 'stamp' but the edges are raised which would not work well for that purpose. I have seen some research on Roman amphora which seemed to show evidence of mass production (the openings were all the same size to very close tolerances). Perhaps this is a 'stamp' used to mark a clay object before it hardened. "Made in Viminacium" if you will Report this Post to the Staff

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 07/16/2013 2:39 pm Looks a bit like some of the old lead and tin soldiers we find sometimes while out detecting, but missing the soldier. What's the dimensions of it? You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 07/27/2013 5:22 pm I agree with some sort of bread stamping implement. Pretty cool - what do you plan to do with it? Report this Post to the Staff
