ir2 ROMAN COINS FOUND AT LITTLE CHESTER. 



article will also be glad to have any errors that may have been 

 made in the descriptions here given corrected, if any such there 

 be, as is not improbable. 



We wish to thank very heartily all those who have in various 

 ways helped us by lending coins, or supplying information, and 

 lending books; especially Mr. Franks, C.B., of the British 

 Museum, and Mr. Garbutt, of Duffield. The names of those 

 who have lent coins used in this paper will be found appended to 

 the coins as they occur in the list. In concluding this somewhat 

 long and discursive introduction, we desire to express the hope 

 that our efforts to show how much that is of interest and value 

 attaches itself to these much-battered and time-worn discs, will 

 enable us the better to understand the immense world- moulding 

 influence exercised by this wonderful people in the past centuries, 

 whose policy and government we even now in so many ways 

 incorporate with our own. 



There remain in our possession some few other coins which 

 have not yet been fully deciphered. They must now stand over, 

 and form a supplementary article in a future journal. 



Perhaps it will be the better way to give Glover's list verbatim 

 and then to add to it those coins we have seen and examined, 

 whether they occur in Glover's list or not, making such remarks 

 on each as seem most desirable, in order to associate them with 

 the history of the times in which they were in circulation. We 

 now append Glover's list, taken from Vol. i., pp. 293-4-5, of his 

 History of Derbyshire.
