Assessing the typology and chronology of such amulet capsules is very difficult, and precise dating is usually impossible, especially since the context of the find is often unknown, as in this case. According to Schienerl, prismatic, usually hexagonal amulet capsules only appear in the 2nd or 3rd century, while the use of amulets in the Eastern Roman Empire ceased after the 7th century. -
