THE ROMAN STATIONS OF DERBYSHIRE. 79 
given, (that between Lincoln and Manchester), Bannovallum is 
most likely in West Lincolnshire or South Yorkshire, I have 
sometimes thought that Templeborough represented it (if that 
place be not Morbium). Navio and Aguae I will now deal with. 
In June, 1862, there was found in a garden, in the occupation 
of Mr. Matthew Lees, near the Silverlands in Higher Buxton,* 
the lower part of an inscribed Roman milestone, formed ‘‘ of the 
flinty gritstone of the neighbourhood, being similar to the rock at 
the summit of Corbar.” From the fact of the commencement of 
the inscription being on the lost portion of the stone, we are 
unable to say which of the Roman emperors was named, but the 
remainder is— 
(iin |e. BO Cos. 3, (1) 
IP.P.ANAVION 
MP) ox 
I have supplied the TR in the first line, as traces of letters are 
visible at the commencement, which could be no other than TR. 
I have also supplied an I, which is not visible, at the end of the 
line, for COS.I would be contrary to precedent. When an 
emperor had only been consul once, COS without any numeral 
was the usual formula. Mr. Jewitt reads the line as COS II., and 
possibly when first found the numerals may have been visible on 
the stone. The letter which seems like an I at the beginning of 
the second line is puzzling, it may possibly be part of an orna- 
mental stop, but putting it on one side, the inscription should be 
read—TZ7ibunitiae potestatis . Co(n)s(ul) . a. Plater) + Platriae) A . 
Navione M. P. Xxx. In the last line no numeral is visible but 
the X, though there is an elevated horizontal line after it (as in 
most cases where numerals are used), which would seem to infer 
from the space covered, that II followed, making the line read 
M.P.XII. This stone, marking, as will be seen, twelve miles 
from the station /Vavio, has lately been re-discovered (after many

+ This is assuming the name of the emperor is in the nominative case, as it 
occasionally is.
