Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 04/08/2022 9:34 pm Hmm, not sure I agree with Ancient Greece. Those look more like Latin words to me. Let's see if the collective minds can help with the reading and subsequent ID.

Wandering Circle Valued Member Hong Kong 176 Posts	Posted 04/10/2022 09:32 am It's a medieval "equestrian seal". You can find out which lord this seal belonged to if someone can make out the Latin letters. (Assuming it's genuine) That "-ensis" inscription on the left is a Latin suffix for place names to form an adjective of that location. That's all I know so far..

Guigues IV or Guy IV (died 10 August or 29 October 1241) was the count of Forez, Auxerre and Tonnerre from 1203 and the count of Nevers from 1226. He was still a child when his father, Guigues III, died on the Fourth Crusade and he inherited Forez. Report this Post to the Staff
