The dies of Rhodian stamps are presented in alphabetical order with month names and without months at the end of the list. The dies of all the Rhodian eponyms are introduced here, followed by dies of the Rhodian fabricants.
NB A great number of the dies presented here come from the Benaki Collection of the Graeco-Roman Museum of Alexandria and from the excavations of the CEAlex in Alexandria. They are complemented by other dies from other collections and museums (general collections of the Graeco-Roman Museum and Delos Museum, excavations other than in Alexandria, articles and studies both published and unpublished, etc.). The chronology of Rhodian eponyms is based on Finkielsztejn 2001, p. 196, table 22.1.
Two forms are available on this page for querying the database.. The fisrt form (which distinguishes between eponyms and manufacturers) offers you lists of names, and a search by name and month or by period. The second form allows you to carry out an advanced search using several criteria
You can search the database using the Latin or Greek name of the eponym or fabricant (enter a character string from the name you are looking for in the input field - write in capital letters), using a period or from the list of eponyms or fabricants online.

The database will be searched using all the selected criteria. For the name, enter the character string that can be read on the stamp in the input field (write in capital letters). Missing character strings within the word should be replaced with the % symbol (e.g. ΑΓΕ%O). There is no need to put the % symbol at the beginning or end of the string.
