THE ROMAN STATIONS OF DERBYSHIRE. 71 
Ravennas, confirmed by his placing Devdentio next to it on 
his list. 
But the plainest way of stating the case is to let Ravennas 
speak for himself. After naming Deva (Chester) he gives the 
names of the following stations between that city and La/ae 
(Leicester) :—Veratino, Lutudarum, Derbentione, Salinis, Con- 
date. Again, between Lindum Colonia (Lincoln) and JZantio 
(Manchester) he names this other list of stations, Bannovallum, 
Navione, Aquis, Arnemeza, Zerdotalia. Taking the first series, 
Salinae and Condate appear to be respectively at Castle North- 
wich, and Kinderton, in Cheshire, whilst Veratinum, though 
its site is at present doubtful, was probably at Wilderspool, near 
Warrington. There then_remain Zutudae and Derbentio. The 
antiquaries of the early part of this century, amongst them the 
Rey. D. Lysons, Sir H. Ellis, Mr. Bateman, and Mr. Albert May, 
concluded from the inscriptions on the pigs of lead that Zutudae 
was at Chesterfield. 
But that Chesterfield is the site of this station seems to me 
more than doubtful. No traces of Roman circumvallation or 
of buildings have been found there. True that Dr. Pegge in 
a private letter to Major Rooke states that two Roman urns were 
found in 1790, in excavating for foundations of buildings on 
the south side of the Market Place.* True that the same 
author had a second brass coin of Claudius found there in 1720, 
and that Mr. Hardy, of Nottingham, had a third brass of 
Valerian also found there.t It seems likewise certain that in 
1820, a third brass of the Constartinopolis type was found in 
an old garden near High Street ; that in 1822, a second brass 
of Trajan was found in digging a grave in the churchyard ; that 
in 1832, a silver coin of Trajan was found whilst repairing gas- 
pipes in the High Street; and that in 1836, a second brass of 
Maximianus was found in a garden at the bottom of Lord’s 
Mill Street; { but these do not indicate the long continued
