---|---|
Die no | 1 |
Reading | QVAIIIRIVS/VIIRANIV |
Reading (Tomlin) | Q VALERIVS VERANIV |
Comments on the Readings (Tomlin) | No sign of medial point after Q. VA ligatured. The horizontals of L and E are lost in the border. No room for the S of Veranius but may be implied by a possible upward extension of the second diagonal of V. |
Ligatured | VA |
Two line Stamp | TL |
Notes | Q. Valerius Veranius worked at Bavai, only briefly at the beginning of his career and none of his stamps from Dies 1 and 2 have been found in Britain; they are unlikely to be found far from Bavai. With Die 1 he used a profile totally different from at any later period. See Hartley 1998, 20-201 for drawings and discussion of dies in use at Bavai. |
