Timbres amphoriques médievaux du Musée de Silistra, Bulgarie de nord-est

  • TITLU în română: Ştampile amforice medievale din Muzeul de la Silistra, Bulgaria nord-estică
  • Subiect: The main goal of the paper is to present to the open public some still unpublished medieval amphora stamps coming from the museum in Silistra. The stamps have different shape and some of them content letters and monograms. Usually one finds them on the shoulders and on the handles of two main amphora types – Günsenin’s type I and type IV. It is still not clear what their exact function was. Were they a producers or merchants mark? Or maybe they had to do with the centralized imperial power? Were they a sign showing the existing unification of shapes and measures in Byzantium or a sign who was helping the imperial clerks to control the production of the merchandises and to collect money for the imperial treasury? Based on similar stamps coming from Constantinople, Athens and the North-western and Northern Black Sea Coast, some of the specimens from Silistra can be dated in the first half - mid of the 11th century. The others, that are still unique, are dated according to the amphora type they are belonging to. Taking in mind the amphora production centre found on the Northern coast of the Sea of Marmara, near Constantinople, the author also proposes her interpretation about some of the monograms on certain amphora stamps.
