Description: | Lead papal bull, now scraped, probably by agricultural machinery. One side is relatively well preserved and reads NICO / LAUS / PP.IIII (the final I is hard to read but its upper serif is definitely present). The other face is badly mangled but the letters at the top [S]PA SPE can be seen, above the faces of St Paul (damaged) and St Peter. Issued by Pope Nicholas IV, 1288-92; papal bulls were seals attached to papal documents such as indulgences. It now measures 44 x 36 mm, but the 44 mm measurement includes recent stretching. | 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: | 1288
