Revelation: 616 Mark of the Beast Variant: Replica of Papyrus 115

Replica of Papyrus 115(𝔓¹¹⁵)

This is a true conversation piece — the kind you pull out when friends bring up 666. Few people realize that the earliest surviving manuscript of Revelation 13:18 actually reads 616, not 666. This handcrafted replica lets you point directly to the Greek text and show how centuries of speculation trace back to a real historical variant, putting many modern apocalyptic conspiracy theories into proper historical perspective.

Why is Papyrus 115 Important?

Earliest surviving fragment of Revelation 13:18 (late 3rd / early 4th century)

Preserves the 616 variant, rather than the later 666 reading

Central to scholarly discussions of Revelation and Nero Caesar gematria

Referenced in major academic and critical Greek New Testament editions

This piece allows you to visually study and display one of the most fascinating textual variants in biblical history.

Comes in a clear 4" x 6" acrylic double-sided display case
