The vignette represents two theatrical tesserae, that is to say two tokens serving as entrance cards, on which are marked the places assigned to the bearers.
Let us remember that these ivory seals could only be engraved by hand, that one was needed for each spectator, and that this was still one of the least profusions that accompanied the theatrical representations of the old. We shall thus arrive at an approximate conception of this gigantic luxury, of which nothing, in modern times, could give a direct idea. The first tessera offers on one side the image in relief of an amphitheater with its vomitories roughly indicated, and in the middle, the pegma, a kind of tower which was raised with the aid of machines, and on which combatants were placed. : such was, no doubt, the spectacle of the day. The reverse bears this inscription: XI HMIKYKɅIA IA. Which means, no doubt, that the place assigned to the bearer of the seal was on the eleventh hemicycle or step: IA is the number eleven in Greek letters.
We do not conceive how the authors of the Methodical Encyclopedia were able to read HMEP day, on this first stamp, and AIΣKYɅOT (by a K) on the second. Are there any misprints? they abound, in fact, in this great dictionary.
