Title
bulla- DUR-A82CF6
Description
English: Lead Medieval papal bulla, of Calixtus II (1119-24).

Obverse; CAL/XTVS/[PP II]

Reverse; [S]PA/ SP[E]; Worn heads of SS Peter and Paul facing each other

Tim Pestell kindly added this information on the bulla 'Calixtus II, elected 2nd February 1119, consecrated 9th Feb and who died on 14th December 1124 (the lettering on Calixtus III's bulla is slightly different). As such this is an important bulla because it is one of the earliest found in Britain. There are three British papal bullae that have been found that pre-date the Norman Conquest, but post-Conquest examples seem to really start with Alexander III (1159-81); this is the first example I have seen of one earlier than Alexander, so it's a rare bird.'
