ROMAN PERIOD. Fourth Legion. Late 3rd-5th century AD. PB Seal. IV/ AVG N/ LEG in three lines. Unpublished in the standard references. Good VF.

This seal, while clearly related to legionary activity, has few parallels that would help us interpret it further. The construction AVG N (Augusti nostri = “of our emperor”) is commonly seen on seals, but generally without further legends. For an example with a similar composition attributed to the quattor publica Africae, see Stills 0305 (reading IIII PA/ AVG N/ B[...]).
