IMPORTANT LEAD SEAL
Roman Empire, after 122 AD.
Large and rare seal of rectangular shape, with hole intended to hold a lanyard.
The front bears the inscription:

MAENIVS
AGRIPPA
PROC AVG

Dimensions: 26.5 x 20 x 4.5 mm
Weight: 16.65. PB. Of the highest rarity, intact and complete. M. Maenius Agrippa L. Tusidius Campester was a Roman of noble born who probably accompanied Hadrian to the Britain campaign in 122 AD. After commanding the Maryport garrison, Maenius Agrippa deftly climbed the imperial career ladder, ultimately becoming Procurator of Britain. He's also known for an inscription on an altar found in Camerinum (Marche, Italy), dedicated to him. This seal was probably affixed to secure goods intended for the imperial garrison.
