104 PAPERS, ETC. 



It would be too long to go into a rainute description of 

 tbose other moaumeiital inscrlptions which remain. Having 

 touched upon the principal and most interesting, I can only 

 enumerate the rest ; Camden and Leland have given some, 

 which are now lost. Thus there Is one to Caius Murrius 

 Modestus,' a soldlei' of the Second Legion, a native of 

 Forum Julü, in Gaul, or Frejus ; and one to Marcus 

 Valerius Latinus, a centurion of horse, or of the horse 

 which belonged to the Twentieth Legion, neither of which 

 exists at present. Another, discovered in 1797, erected 

 to a discharged soldier of the Twentieth Legion ; much of 

 it is broken away ; what remains, is in the Literary 

 Institution. An inscription to a Decurion, of the colony 

 Glevum, or Gloucester, formerly inserted in the city wall, 

 near the north gate, but does not now remain ; it is men- 

 tioned by Horsley. Another to Rusonia Avenna, a centurion 

 belonging to the nation of the Mediomatrici (a people of 

 Gaiil), is in the Institution ; and one to a little girl, an 

 Alumna, which was first described by Mr. Hunter.* 

 Two moi'e are lost ; one to Succia or Successia Petronia, 

 formerly in the city wall, between the north and west gates, 

 noticed by Leland ; and a stone to Vibia Jucimda, which, 

 Guidott says, was found in Walcot. 



Tivo small ums are in the museum of the Literary Insti- 

 tution. The largest of them was found at Walcot, near 

 the London road. It is of elegant form, and contains a 

 few burnt bones. There does not appear to have ever 

 been a lid ; but it was covered by a piece of Pennant 

 stone. A third, which is said by Mr. Hunter to be in the 

 possession of Mr. Barratt, contained burnt bones, and a 

 coin of Carausius. 



Various stone coffins have been found in and about
