SUPERFLUITY OF SEALINGS . More than a thousand sealings have come from Room 67 so far. Dating from the Hellenistic period (332-37 B.C.E.), their imagery derives mostly from the world of Greek mythology: gods, goddesses, heroes, and their attributes (Athena Promachos shown here) as well as a relatively large number of cornucopias, or the horns of plenty.
