Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Supplementary Papers of the American School of Classical Studies in Rome, Vol. 1
The collected objects are for the present deposited in the American School of Classical Studies in Rome. The stamps were carefully cleansed by means of crude concentrated hydrochloric acid and a stifi brush, and subsequent rinsing with cold water; then read or deciphered as well as their often very defective condition permitted, if necessary in a darkened room by a strong side-light, and at last carefully recorded in the following Table. The number of stamps and other marks thus obtained was 832, of which 594 are lettered, whole and fragmentary, the fragments not belonging to the same brick, and 238 figured, whole and fragmentary, the latter likewise not belonging to the same brick. The stamps and marks are, by our registration, of 464 different kinds. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
