76 THE ROMAN STATIONS OF DERBYSHIRE. 
(vol. i., p. 293), says that coins of Vespasian, Trajan, Hadrian, 
Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius, Crispina, Gordian, Gallienus, 
Postumus, Victorinus, Tetricus, and Carausius, had been found 
before he wrote, which he does not describe, though he says 
they were reported to be of silver, the copper ones being too much 
defaced to be made out. He then adds a list of a number 
found, which he had seen (and Mr. Bateman repeats the list.) 
They were 2 of Septimius Severus of silver, 1 of Severus Alex- 
ander of silver, 1 of Maximinus of silver, 3 of Philip of silver, 
1 of Theodora 3rd brass, 3 of Carausius 3rd brass, 18 of the 
Constantine family (1 of 2nd brass, 17 of 3rd brass), 1 Constan- 
tinopolis, 1 Urbs Roma, and 3 of Magnentius.* 
Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt, in the /w/ellectual Observer (Dec. 1867, 
p- 347), says—“ At Little Chester, some (coins) in connection 
with human remains, and others scattered about in different 
parts of the station some hundreds of Roman coins have at 
various times been found. In my own possession are con- 
siderably more than a hundred examples from that locality, 
ranging from Vespasian to Arcadius, and including Vespasian, 
Titus, Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, Faustina senior, 
Marcus Aurelius, Faustina junior, Commodus, Gordianus III, 
Philippus senior, Volusianus, Gallienus, Salonina, Postumus 
senior, Victorinus senior, Tetricus senior and junior, Claudius 
Gothicus, Carausius, Allectus, Constantius. Chlorus, Helena, 
Licinius senior, Constantinus, Maximus, Constantinus II,, 
Constans, Constantius II., Family of Constantine, Magnentius, 
Valens, Arcadius, etc., etc.” From this it would appear that the 
station was occupied during nearly the whole period of the 
Roman sway in Britain. In the same volume (pp. 345-6), Mr. 
Jewitt also engraves a fibula, and an iron spear head found at 
the station. 
In the winter of 1873-4, the Rev. S. B. Brasher, late Vicar of 
St. Paul’s, Derby, the vicarage of which is at Little Chester, made 
* Gough, in his 1806 edition of Camden’s “‘ Britannia,” says (vol. ii., p. 419), 
‘© Mr. Degg showed the Society of Antiquaries, 1721, a coin of Antoninus, vez. 
two hands joined holding a caduceus, COS. III., thrown up by a mole, at 
Derventio, and in 1726, several coins of the Lower Empire.”
