An Early Medieval Episcopal Seal from Sipar

Branka Milošević Zakić

Abstract

This paper analyses an episcopal lead seal discovered in 1986 on the Sipar peninsula, with emphasis on its typological and epigraphic features. On the basis of comparisons and written sources, attribution to the seventh-century bishop Cyriacus of Pula is proposed, while such identification is defined as hypothetical.
