From Bath the Via Julia passed out by the East Gate in 

 the direction of Walcot. An interesting discovery near the 

 Cleveland Bridge seems to mark the line of its course. In 

 digging the foundations of a house at one end of Cleveland 

 Place, and directly opposite the Eastern Dispensary, three 

 interments were found, one in a stone coffin, where the skele- 

 ton was perfect, and two small cists of stone, containing 

 burnt bones. These lay a few yards apart, but in a direct 

 line. The two cists were covered with one large stone. Tliis 

 covering had slipped oflf one cist, which was found to 

 contain only soil, the bones having perished, but the other 

 was full of calcined bones. In a line with these was found also 

 what appeared to be a stone hearth, surrounded by burned clay. 



These interments were found within the space occupied by 

 the new house, built by Mr. Sweetland, and appear to 

 have bordered the ancient Roman road which passed 

 that way between the present street and the river. 

 Roman pottery of various kinds was found near these 

 interments, and some fragments of very nice Samian. 

 But the most interesting part of the discovery is a 

 coin of silver, small in size, having on the obverse the 

 heads of the Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, with two stars 

 over them. On the side of them are the words RVFVS 

 IIIVIR, on the reverse is a female figure holding a balance, 

 with the word CONCORDIA under it. Unhappily, the 

 reverse has been injured by rubbing, and the figure and 

 lettering can with difficulty be traced. But the size and 

 description of coin coincides with one given in Cohen, as 

 a coin of Gordia, on which he makes the following remarks : — 

 " Manius Cordius Rufus was Monetary Triumvir of JuHus 

 Caesar, and this coin may be presumed to have been struck 

 about 50 years B.C." Cavedoni thinks that the Venus with 

 Cupid on her back has reference to Venus " Verticordia " 

 (who changes hearts), according to Ovid, and which also has
