Descrição: Sigillography, a science auxiliary to history, studies all forms of sealing implements (σφραγίδα/ sigillum ) and their impressions (σφράγισμα/ signum impressum ). The impressions are referred to conventionally as “seals,” although technically, this term should be confined to the sealing implements.
Sigillography studies all forms of sealing implements and their impressions. The sealing media par excellence during the early Byzantine period were clay and especially lead, imprinted (from the fourth century onwards) with the use of a boulloterion . Byzantine lead sealings up to 700 ce bear the name, title(s), and office of their owner (in Greek and/or Latin) in linear inscriptions or in monograms and are usually decorated with depictions of the Theotokos, various saints, eagles, or (in the special case of the kommerkiarioi seals) with portraits of the emperor(s).
