 Discovery of a Roman Miliary Stone at Tintayel. 



The Rev. W. lago, B.A., has recently discovered the oldest 

 Inscribed Stone known in the county. It is a Roman Miliary 

 Stone, and forms the lich-stone in the eastern grid of Tintagel 

 Churchyard. The inscription reads (but without stops) 



IMP. C. G. 



VAL. 



LIO . L lOI N. 



"Imperatore Caesare Galerio 



Valerio 



Liciniano Licinio." 



It dates from the early part of the fourth century,, and is prior 

 to the St. Hilary Stone, the only Roman Miliary Stone in Cornwall 

 hitherto known, unless that stone be of the time of Constantine I, 

 in which case the stones may be contemporaneous. 



Mr. lago has promised to contribute a paper on the subject to 

 the next number of our Journal.
