NOTES ON LATIN INSCRIPTIONS FOUND IN BRITAIN. 407 
“This fabric, once, possibly, the residence of Flavius Senilis, hereafter men- 
tioned, had a portico along its west front, and an open court in the centre, 
surrounded by corridors, in which, and in various other apartments, tesselated 
pavements occurred. This building measured about 150 by 135 feet. 
‘On the north side of this building, separated from it by an open space, were 
baths and Hypocausts, with a detached building measuring about 125 feet in 
length by 70 in greatest breadth. 
“ Near the centre of the principal quadrangle was (as is supposed) the temple 
of the tutelary deity, the ‘‘ TEMPLUM NODENTIS,” mentioned in the Inscription 
below. It was about 95 feet long by 75 broad, and in it were three tesselated 
pavements,the largest having the name of the erector (as in IV.) placed over a 
fanciful border representing the twisted bodies of salmons, the fish of the 
Severn. 
“The whole was excavated under the direction of its late owner, the relics 
and coins carefully preserved, plans and drawings taken, and aseries of engray- 
ings (of very limited number) executed, in which were eleven tesselated pave- 
ments. All was then covered again for preservation. Among the relics are coins 
to the time of Allectus inclusive, a statuette, votive offerings of limbs supposed to 
be acknowledgments of the sanitary powers of Nodens or Nodons, and three 
votive inscriptions given below, together with the inscription in the Temple.
