410 NOTES ON LATIN INSCRIPTIONS FOUND IN BRITAIN. 
Mr. Albert Way, in an excellent article (Journal of Archeological 
Institute, 1859, nu. 61), has carefully collected the scattered notices of 
all the relics of this class, which have at various times been found in 
Britain, and has thus produced a valuable précis of almost all that is 
known on the subject. 
The blocks, or “ pigs,” according to the information given in that 
article, present the following varieties of inscription : 
(1) BRITANNIC**AVG II. (a) 
(2) TI‘-CLAVDIUS - CAESAR: AVG: P: M: TRIB: P: VIII: IMP:

It is plain, on inspection, that the simplest of these are nn. (2), 
(5), (6), (8), (11), and (12). We shall therefore take these up first, 
and then proceed to the more obscure.
