Description: | Oval seal matrix. The central motif is perhaps a stylised fleur-de-lys. The legend bears the first name 'ROLAND'. The latter part of the legend appears to read 'RIO', or 'AIO'. There are no abbreviation marks, and the whole inscription is likely to be read as one name S'ROLANDRIO', rather than ROLAN, with the 'D' be an abbreviated 'DE' (of) and RIO being a place. The christian name ROLANDIO is found in Spanish and Italian medieval writings, and the inscription on this seal may be one of a number of ways of spelling it. | 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: | 1275
