The Signaculum 79 - Roman Bread Stamp

Stamp your bread and eat it too! With the Signaculum 79 bread stamp, you can stamp your homemade loaves and pastries just as the ancient Romans did, and tell your family, neighbors, and friends that this loaf of bread is yours. Signacula (stamp seals) were commonly used for stamping bricks, pottery, and bread in ancient Rome. For bread-making, bread stamps were used to mark bread prior to baking to distinguish ownership in communal settings or to tell customers which breads belonged to which people. This brass bread stamp comes in two stunning varieties: one with a knob handle to store in your pantry, and one to wear around your neck, just as the Roman military did when baking bread on the march.
