They all date to the 6th and 7th centuries. On their main faces it is possible to note Christian symbols, birds, portraits of saints and a scene from the life of Jesus. Their study raises a series of questions about the choice of the scenes and figures represented, including the use of stamps for the eucharistic or the eulogia bread and the relation of the stamps example sanctuaries in Delphi. Standing out among this group of stamps, is the only known example in bibliography related to Catechumens." }
