Title
Medieval: papal bull of Celestine III (Obverse and reverse).
Description
English: A complete, cast lead sub-circular papal bulla. The recta (front) depicts the faces of Saints Peter and Paul with a cross between them. There is the legend 'SPASPE' above them, this being an abbreviation for St. Paul and St. Peter. The reverse (verso) of the bulla shows the name of the Pope, which is written in the nominative, with his abbreviated title. It reads 'CELE / STINVS / PP • III' within a beaded border. The 'PP' has an 'Ω' above. The papal bulla has a light beige colour with an even patina. The papal bull measures 39.59mm long, 36.95mm wide and 6.33mm thick. It weighs 48.7g. Papal bullae were originally attached to documents issued by the Papacy. They date from the early 12th onwards, with the most common examples dating to the 14th century. This bulla has the name of Pope Celestine III on the verso. He was elected Pope in 1191 and continued until 1198.
