Brickstamp, Rome Alison E. Cooley AEC/ASHL AN1872.1544.xml Oxford Ashmolean Museum AN1872.1544 (60) (no.424) AshLI 242 Coll. Ref: 60 Roman catalogue: 424

A circular orbicular brickstamp (0.104), damaged on one edge, with a large orbiculus (0.036) extending into the central section of the stamp. Brick: 0.175+ 0.13+ 0.033. The stamp is mislabelled as no.57.

There are two lines of letters around the edge of the stamp, running in concentric circles. In the centre is a very worn figure, with hand outstretched over an altar; from other better-preserved examples of this stamp, the figure is identified in CIL as Bonus eventus, naked except for a cloak, holding three ears of corn in left hand, and making an offering over an altar with the right. Its surface is fairly worn.
