SOME FURTHER FINDS IN DEEPDALE CAVE, BUXTON. 199 



Four or five small tusks, which I suppose to be wild boar ; also 

 the tooth of a Celtic ox, or bos longifrons. 



Five iron fragments ; two of them large nails or bolts, and 

 one a semi-circular handle. Also an iron buckle, probably from 

 the harness of a horse ; and two bronze nails. 



The well-polished, circular bone handle of some small 

 instrument, z\ in. long. 



Three large fragments of a Roman mortarium or mortar, of 

 the usual whitish paste. 



Two or three other pieces of pottery of different kinds, with 

 varying effective patterns, have also come to light, as well as two 

 most delicate little fragments that undoubtedly formed part of a 

 choice vase from Italy, and of the style popularly known as 

 " Etrurian." 



Two coins are also among the recent Deepdale discoveries 

 of Mr. Salt. My friend, Mr. Bailey, thus describes them : — 



[IMP. C] VICTORINVS. P. F. AVG. 



Reverse : A female standing, draped, looking left, in right-hand 

 a wreath, in left a hasta or spear; V and a star. PAX. AUG. 

 A coin of Victorious the elder ; both father and son were 

 assassinated together in a.d. 268. 



The other is not so clear, and I cannot identify it. (Since the 

 above has been in type, I have been able to ascertain from Mr. 

 H. C. Grueber, of the British Museum, that it is a coin of 

 Gallienus, struck in Gaul about a.d. 260.) Head of Gallienus, 

 to right, with a rayed crown. 



[GA] LLIE. III. the latter for germ III. 



Reverse : A female standing to right, in left-hand a cornucopia, 

 and the right extended in front. Legend indistinct, A A and G.
