Abstract

Among the Jewish antiquities from Campania, there is a bronze seal (JIWE I 24) considered lost until today. It was donated by Pietrantonio Vitale, parish priest of Frattaminore, area of ancient Atella, to Alessio Simmaco Mazzocchi between the 17th and the 18th century. It was later published by Theodor Mommsen in CIL X 8059.484. Actually, the seal is not lost. It was purchased in the early years of the 18th century by Father Pierre Robinet from a lot of seals for the Antiquities Cabinet of the Royal Library of Madrid. Later, in 1867, the seal with the other pieces of the lot was transferred by royal decree from the ancient collection of the National Library of Madrid to the permanent collection of the National Archaeological Museum of Madrid, where it is still located today. It is published here in full for the first time.
