[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 7752459, member: 96635"]Thank you [USER=104741]@Ignoramus Maximus[/USER]! Interesting seal you have, attributing seals can be quite of a challenge but often rewarding. Yours is generally quite visible, so I was willing to spend some time attributing it. The obverse is indeed Saint Georgios. Just looking at the inscription quickly, eventhough it is partly not readable, it makes sense the obverse says: 'Ο ΑΓΙ[ΟΣ] ΓΕωΡΓΙΟ[Σ]' (The Saint Georgios). The reverse is more of a challenge: 1.+KƐRO 2. HΘƐΙ Τω 3. Cω ΔOυΛω 4.ΘƐΟΔω = Κ(ύρι)ε βοήθει τῷ σῷ δούλῳ Θεοδώ(ρῳ) = Lord, help your servant Theodore. So, it is a seal from Theodore, ca. 11th century. Unfortunately, not much more information about the individual.[/QUOTE]
