The logo on the carbonized Pompeiian bread
#3
Ave!

Is it possible that the bread was baked on a sheet that had the stamp embossed on it, and then when the bread was done, it was simply flipped over and sold with the makers mark facing up?

I do not have the book or access to the pictures, so I cannot tell if the side with the mark looks 'flat' or 'shaped' in some way, which could tell you if the bread was baked in a form of some sort.

I can't see how a stamp would work, either unless you timed it just right near the end of the baking...
