LEAD SEALINGS DISCOVERED IN THE CANABAE AND IN THE ROMAN LEGIONARY FORTRESS IN POTAISSA

Florin Gheorghe Fodorean, Ioana Mărincean

Abstract


We present in the following four interesting unpublished artifacts found during archaeological excavations (2012-2018) in the legionary fortress and the canabae of legio V Macedonica in Potaissa (today Turda, Cluj County, Romania). All are military lead sealings. Two of them have the print in negative of LVM, placed in a cartridge. We extended the discussion by analyzing some analogies from the Roman Empire. We end our short contribution trying to explain the presence of such artifacts in Potaissa.
