We present in the following four interesting unpublished artifacts found during archaeological excavations (2012-2018) in the legionary fortress and the canabae of legio V Macedonica in Potaissa (today Turda, Cluj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.
