Description: | mark, moulding, AVGG
Roman lead sealing showing the busts of the Emperor Septimius Severus and his two sons, Caracalla and Geta(to left and right, respectively). The abbreviation AVGG stands for 'Augustus', which is a title used only by the Emperor. The second G shows that Septimius Severus has made his eldest son, Caracalla, co-Emperor. Lead sealings were possibly used like modern customs seals (AD 198 - 209, Arbeia Roman Fort).
