Date: 527-565.
Perpetuus: ll from Probus. Perpetuus, which was used as the title of emperor until Leon; P was abbreviated as PERP or PP. PP is also short for patter patriae; however, since it is written augustus on the back here, it cannot be patriae.
There should also be a cross in the lower left cavity of the back, but the seal was broken.
Iustinianus was a devout Christian ruler and this is reflected in his seals. The cross was first imprinted on its seals, and its portrait on the seal is a halo. ll. The portrait of the lustinus is also hallowed in the seal, but later portraits of the emperors were haloless until the Palaiologos Period. (Seibt 1978: 59) Similar to the portrait of Iustinianus on this seal, it is also present on his coins, but it is haphazard. (BMC: 27, No. 17, Plate IV, No. 12; Sear 1987 No. 140). There is another type seal of Iustinianus, which has a monogram instead of a portrait on the obverse (Seibt 1978: No. 7). The same monogram is also present in the column headings of Hagia Sophia.
