Ancient Tesserae, Seals
* This page comprises only of tesserae and seals to ca. 4th century AD.
* Where no reference number could be found in known works, the seller's, owner's or collector's own number has been used.
* I use what literature and catalogs of tesserae and lead pseudo-coins which I have, including (what someone sneeringly called) "obscure and/or outdated works" (19th and early 20th century) and or "invented" references (=sellers numbers)" (although that person asked me whether I could please translate Rostovtsev's 1900 catalog for him !) the best and greatest numismatic works on the subject, which were written from the 19th to the early 20th century.
* For early imperial tesserae (e.g. with bust of emperor), please see the appropriate emperor page.
* The number of tesserae and seal varieties is unimaginably large because of the ease with which tesserae were melted down and re-used.
