Description
Byzantine Empire, ca. 5th to 7th century CE. Gorgeous bronze bread stamp - an early form of advertsing - in rectangular form spelling out the name of the proprietor - P. SERUILI VENUSTI - which ironically translates to: "P. Beautiful Slave." Stamps such as these were used in the daily production of bread to identify the maker and were used from Roman times through the Byzantine era. Size: 2.875" W x .875" H (7.3 cm x 2.2 cm)

Provenance: Ex-private New Jersey collection acquired before 1990
