Large Roman / Byzantine Bronze Bread Stamp

Item Details

Description

Roman or Byzantine, ca. 4th to 7th century CE. A rectangular bronze bread stamp with two rows of Greek letters, each within a thick bronze border. The verso has a double loop handle with an applied flat panel at the center. The edges and panel are stamped with repeated circles with dots inside of them, a symbol believed to be a ward against the Evil Eye. Size: 2" L x 4" W x 1.45" H (5.1 cm x 10.2 cm x 3.7 cm)

Bread stamps have been used throughout the Old World, particularly the Mediterranean and Near East, since the emergence of Greco-Roman culture; they were used for religious, magical, economic, and identification purposes. For example, in classical Greece, bread would be stamped when it was used in a ritual performance or as offerings (Herodotus describes this). Several stamped, carbonized loaves of bread have been documented from Pompeii; they were stamped with the name of the baker in order to establish ownership and prevent forgeries. Later, Eucharistic bread was stamped with a variety of religious symbols.
