-> Roman seal boxes were small hinged metal containers, usually cast in bronze, made to protect the wax seal which was used to fasten and authenticate an item. They were chiefly employed on letters, documents, and parcels: a cord was threaded through the box, secured with wax, and then impressed with a signet, helping to show whether the contents had been opened or interfered with in transit.
-> ローマの印箱は小さなヒンジ付きの金属製容器で、通常はブロンズから鋳造され、品物を留め、真偽を保証するための蝋の封印を保護するために作られました。主に手紙・文書・小包に用いられ、箱を通して紐が通され、蝋で固定され、印章を押して封印を作り、それが輸送中に内容が開封されたり改ざんされたりしていないかを示す手助けをします。
