Lot 2785
Another Tenth Legion Floor Tile from Ancient Jerusalem. Israel, Late 1st - 2nd century AD. This tile like that in the preceding lot. A square of about 7" on each side, and 1-3/4" thick, but this in a more tan colored clay. Impressed on its face a rectangular stamp with the letters "LEG X FR," for "Legio Decima Fretensis." The letters complete, although the stamping is somewhat weak or worn at the center. The full tile nicely preserved. Again, an important collectible for the Judaica or miltary collector.
Estimated Value $675 - 950.
