Life and work

  1. 2008
    With D. M. Metcalf republished the lead seals from Salamis (Constantia) published in 1887 by A. Palma di Cesnola; the seals had been donated in 2006 to the Museo di Antichita, Turin. Metcalf notes they are all pierced, so probably picked up by villagers and worn as amulets.
