Ancient Lead Seals and Artifacts
Ave!
Collecting lead seals may seem a bit esoteric to you and we agree, it's certainly not for everyone.
On the other hand, these ancient seals can still speak to us as coins never will. Many are official Roman Imperial-era seals, but many more were used by merchants and even personal families, to insure that their trade goods, mail and other important items traveling abroad, were recieved untouched nor opened.
One of our seals reads: ΑΥΣONI = Ausonios, perhaps a trade merchant? Many represent an ancient family 'photo' featuring father, mother and their children. Others feature Gods and Goddesses, Roman personifications such as Salus and Asclepius, Zoomorphic creatures such as dolphins, snails, sheep and more.
FYI - lead underground tends to crumble just a bit and grows a sort of yellow/brown patina. If you remove the patina? Do not, trust us.
These seals will allow you to collect and get in touch with ancient Rome close up, as you have ever been before.
FYI - We see similar seals and artifacts at Coin Shows and Online Shops selling for $80 & more. We're not greedy and we're presending them all for very low prices...trust me.
