(Seal of) Justinian/Anastasios Zosimos, apo hypaton.
Commentary
The obverse monogram could read either Ἰουστινιανοῦ (Justinian) or Ἀναστασίου (Anastasios); a further problematic aspect of that monogram is the worn right part, showing what may be either an Ε or a Σ. If it is an Ε, neither Ἰουστινιανοῦ or Ἀναστασίου resolves the monogram.
The reverse monogram is clearly complex and the reading given here is not necessarily correct, but seems likely.
