Definition: | Originally, Bulla were hollow clay envelopes affixed with chords to important documents to prevent tampering (often with images on the outside). However, official Ancient Imperial documents were also "sealed" using lead bulla. This practice of bulla (seals) was resurrected in the 12th Century by the Roman Cult. |
