| Summary: | The collection of the Byzantine Cherson lead seals is constantly replenished by new findings. This article is devoted to the molybdoboulloi being found during the 20th century and united now in a private collection. The seals reflect the main stages of Byzantine history. These are bulls of the 5th – 8th centuries, most of which are unique specimens with rare names. The dominant part is presented by seals of the 9th – 11th centuries. There are molybdoboulloi of local administration (archon Gregory, ek prosopou Sergios, strategoi Epiphanios, Leo Tzulas, John Proteuon и Soteros (?) Iasites), as well as of empire’s central apparatus (genikos logothetes Leo и Elessios; kommerkiarios Theodotos). Several seals belong to the noblemen (George Tzulas, Nicholas Kalopsichos и Constantin Maurokatakalon). All these findings provide new interesting information about the Chersonite’s broad contacts with an external world. |
