This plaque is made of lead, which was a magical metal in the Roman world. Lead is traditionally associated with magic and the underworld, and is often used for votive offerings, amulets and curse tablets (defixiones). It was perceived as a material with supernatural power that had the ability to manipulate and bind living beings and evil spirits.
