Stamp of Lanius Rufinus
View through Harvard Museums
Orbicular stamp, mostly lost, with Latin text [o]P DOL EX PR A[ugg nn fig su] / [pe]RIOR LA[ni rufini] ("Brick from the estates of the co-emperors, at the brickyards known as the Superiores, of Lanius Rufinus"). The stamp, although broken, can be identified as one from the Figlinae Superiores under the management of Lanius Rufinus. The stamp comes from yards which were part of the property of Septimius and Caracalla as joint Augusti. The location of the Figlinae Superiores is not known. The bricks are found regularly in Rome and surrounding areas, including the Severan repairs to the Pantheon and the Baths of Caracalla.
