Seal
A Seal is a recognized territorial holding within the Aurellian Empire. A Seal may be owned and governed by a noble Domus, retained directly by the Empire, or contain exempt holdings belonging to imperial institutions or Orders.
In noble territory, a Seal is hereditary property of its ruling Domus Sigillata.

Seat
A Seat is the primary ruling center of a Seal. It may be a city, fortress, palace, old town, fortified estate, or administrative capital from which the Seal is governed.
A Seat is not the same as a Seal. The Seal is the territory; the Seat is the place from which authority is exercised.

Sigillum Imperii
A Sigillum Imperii is a Seal owned and governed directly by the Aurellian Empire rather than by a noble Domus.
Such territories are usually too important, strategic, profitable, symbolic, or dangerous to be entrusted to hereditary noble ownership. Capitals, imperial roads, major vaults, military corridors, treasury districts, and arcane institutions may be held as Sigilla Imperii.
Plural: Sigilla Imperii.
Common term: Crown Seal.
