Description: | Lead cloth seal of unusual type. One 'disc' is in fact 'spade-shaped' (rectangular with one rounded end) and the other is the conventional circular disc. This type of seal is an official alnage (tax) seal. It is cast with neat Roman numerals on the 'spade-shaped' Disc 1, reading ++II on the top line (nearest the connecting strip) and +VIII on the lower line. Below this Disc 1 appears unstamped, but on close inspection a flattened circular area can be seen indicating an unengraved stamp. On the reverse, Disc 2 is stamped with a privy mark - three pellets with the initials R C A (?) around. Compare Egan 1994, 117-9, which have alnage stamps next to the Roman numerals. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1550
