AF-DX-1534.T.jpg

Engraving of a Roman or Greek seal with an image of two men standing before a third man, who holds a round shield. All of the men wear helmets, and one bends down with his loose fist handing over a bowl on a pedestal. Above and below the representation of the seal are printed "Tab.LIX" and "MILIT. SACRIF.". This is surrounded by a large, ornate border printed from a separate block with red ink, or with ink that has discolored to red. At the base of this border are the artist attributions.
