202 ROMAN OCCUPATION OF CORNWALL. 



In 1 700, some Eoman coins were found in Grolvadnek Barrow, 

 at the foot of Carnbrea hill. 



Near the same place in 1749, three feet under the surface of 

 the ground, about a pint of Eoman copper coins were found. 



On the tenement of Bocadzhil, in St. Just, nearly a hundred 

 copper Eoman coins were found. 



At St. Agnes, near the mines, a gold coin of Valentinian was 

 found. 



Carew tells us that he had a brass coin of Domitian, found in 

 one of the Cornish Tin- works. 



At Treryn, the S.W. point of Cornwall, says Leland, there 

 was found a brass pot full of Eoman money. 



Two Silver coins were found at Penrose, Helston, one is of 

 Trajan. 



In 1735, at Condora, the south entrance to Helford river, were 

 found 24 gallons of Eoman brass money, aU of the age of 

 Constantino and his family. 



In 1765, forty Eoman coins were found in Constantino creek, 

 on the north side of Helford river. 



In a ditch near Malpas ferry, on the Fal, 20 lbs. weight of 

 Eoman brass coins were found, all date from A.D. 259 to 284. 



A coin of Vespasian was found in a stream work, at Buryan. 



Many Eoman coins have been found at Tywardreath, near 

 Fowey. 



At St. Minver sands, opposite to Padstow,' Eoman coins have 

 been found with personal ornaments and Samian ware. 



Imperfect as this list no doubt is, yet it shows a wide scattering 

 of lost Eoman money over the county, and indicates an inter- 

 course and a traffic probably for Tia, Lead, and Cattle. It has 

 been conjectured that the large find of small money in the 

 fortified promontory of Condora, was intended for the payment 

 of Eoman soldiers.
