Description
This Roman stamp, crafted from lead and featuring a prominent engraving of the Roman eagle, is a dimensional artifact measuring 3.5 cm by 3.5 cm (approximately 1.38x1.38 inches). Originating from the Roman period between the 1st and 4th centuries AD, the piece reflects the grandeur of Roman iconography. The eagle, a symbol of strength and power, was commonly associated with Jupiter, the king of the gods, and was widely used throughout the Roman Empire. The loop on the stamp suggests it was designed to be worn or hung, possibly used to seal and authenticate documents. This piece is not only a relic of ancient daily life but also a tangible representation of the Roman's artistic and cultural dominance. For collectors, it is an embodiment of historical significance and classical antiquity's enduring allure.
