 church, where bonding-tiles are worked into the masonry. 137 



Coins seem always to have been plentiful on this site, as Camden noted. 138 

 In Mr. Ella's time the majority of those found belonged to the Lower Empire, 

 though there were also some of earlier date. Stukeley 139 describes some of 

 which that gentleman sent him an account, including a ' consecration-piece ' 

 of Vespasian (sic), with the mole at Ancona on the reverse ; one of Hadrian 

 with seated figure of Britannia ; uo coins of Constantine with VRBS ROMA and 

 the twins, or with CONSTANTINOPOLIS ; and others of Aurelius and Faustina

(A.D. 161-80), Gallienus (A.D. 253-68), Tetricus (A.D. 268-73), Vic- 

 torinus (A.D. 265-67), Carausius (A.D. 287-93), Constantine (A.D. 306-37), 

 Constantius, Crispus (A.D. 31726), and Allectus (A.D. 293). He had also 

 seen ' a great many imperial coins between Nero and Gratian ' found in the 

 neighbourhood. 141 



' There are also found,' says Mr. Ella, ' but very rarely, Roman signets 

 of agate and cornelian ; one of the fairest and largest I ever saw was found at

140 Of these two coins the first is a Trajan, about A.D. 102, the mole being probably the bridge over the 

 Danube (Cohen, Monnaies frapptes sous FEmp. Rom. ii, 73, 542 ; cf. Stevenson, Diet, of Rom. Coins 643) ; for 

 the other see Cohen, op. cit. ii, 121, 197. He also mentions a coin of Trajan with a 'Genius,' i.e. Roma, 

 seated on a trophy, holding a 'Victoriola' (A.D. 104-10 ; Cohen, op. cit. ii, 59, 391), and a coin of Con- 

 stantine II with ALEMANNIA DEvicTA (Cohen, op. cit. no. l).
