In and around Mesopotamia people used cylinder seals to impress a mark and also wrote on cylinders, the most famous example afaik is the Cyrus Cylinder.

When I saw cylinders with texts written on them recently, I kind of assumed that these would be used to impress copies of texts in the same way that you roll a cylinder seal :eek: and I don't know if this was actually done, like ever.

Is this a technology with any potential?
