Brick Stamp of Dionysius, slave of Domitia Lucilla Minor
Roman
Orbicular stamp, with Latin text PAET ET APR COS / OP D DIONYS DOMIT P F LUCIL ("In the consulship of Paetinus and Apronianus, a brick of Domitia Lucilla, daughter of Publius Domitius, made by Dionysius"). The stamp marks this brick as a product of Dionysius, yard-master in the brickyards of Domitia Lucilla the younger. His employment in those yards is explicitly attested for the years 123 and 124 CE. Domitia Lucilla married M. Annius Verus, son of the consul of 126 CE, and was mother of the emperor Marcus Aurelius, who by inheritance brought these brickyards into the imperial patrimony around 155 CE.
