ROMAN REMAINS IN BATH. 105 



Bath. One is now walled up in tlie boundary wall of 

 Bathwlck burial ground. Some were found in making the 

 new cemetery, at Widcombe, and a coin of Constantine, and 

 another of Carausius, near them. Their site is marked by 

 a pillar, with an inscription on it, in the cemetery. Several 

 have lately been discovered in Russell Street ; and, as these 

 have been very carefully examined, it is hoped that some 

 Information may be given in due time. Two brass rings, 

 which are in the Cabinet of Antiquities at the Literary 

 Institution, and a wire pin, were discovered in a coffin, near 

 Larkhall. (See Cat., p. 79.) There was found near the 

 stone coffins, discovered in Russell Street, a silver Dena- 

 rius, of Antoninus Pius ; a Constantine Junior, small 

 brass ; a Gratian, ditto. These are all the monumental 

 remains which stUl exist, or have been found in and around 

 the city, as far as I am aware. 



Before drawing to a conclusion, it may be well to men- 

 tion what existed when Leland vsrrote, but have, since his 

 time, disappeared. When the walls were standing, there 

 were many sculjitured stones inserted in them. Leland 

 gives a cursory view of them ; and Mr. Hunter observes : 

 " It is much to be rescretted that he has not described 

 more fuUy the minute objects of curiosity which he saw 

 in his joumey through England. Who that has read 

 what he has said of Bath, but must wish it !" 



The following is a list of the antiquities wliich were 

 once to be found in the town walls, but are now lost. 

 These have not been mcntioned before : * 



A " Sol," or, at least, a large front face, with a profu- 

 sion of hair. 



A " Hercules," with a scrpent in each band. — A " Foot 

 Soldier," with sword and shield. — Two " Wreaths."
