ROMAN MINOR SETTLEMENTS, ETC. I97 



the discovery became known ; and it is thought that about 

 500 more coins were found by searching the ground minutely. 

 Mr. J. Reynolds, of Crich, says that about 200 of the coins 

 which he had seen ranged from Vespasian to Septimius Severus, 

 and twelve which came into his possession were as follows : — * 

 VESPASIAN. Rev. IVPITER. CVSTOS. Jupiter standing.* 

 TRAJAN. Rev. Illegible. 



Do. Rev. COS.V.P.P.S.P.Q.R. OPTIMO. PRINC A 

 captive seated by a trophy. 



Do. Rev Q.R. OPTIMO. PRINC. (I 



cannot itentify the design from the description given. 

 W. T. W.) 

 HADRIAN. Rev. FELICITAS. AVG. Felicity standing. 

 ANTONINVS PIVS. Rev. COS. IIII. Equity standing, in 

 right hand scales, in left a sceptre. 

 Do. Rev. COS. IIII. Which from the description 



appears to be Piety sacrificing at an altar. 

 Do. Obv. DIVVS ANTONINVS. Rev. CONSECRATIO. 

 A funeral pile. 

 FAVSTINA. Sen r . Rev. SAECVLI. FE LICIT. Figure uncertain. 



Do. Rev. CONSECRATIO. A peacock. 



COMMODVS. Rev. COS. II. A standing figure, cornucopia in 

 left hand, caduceus in right. 



There was also a coin said to bear on the obverse the 

 head of an Emperor, with the words ANTONINVS 

 AVGVSTVS,and on the reverse the legend FELICITAS. 

 AVGG. (the last G suggesting two joint emperors.) But 

 no such coin appears to be known, and the descrip- 

 tion of the figure on the reverse is also decidedly 

 erroneous. 



* The particulars of the five hoards described in Mr. Reynolds' MSS. are 

 given in a very abbreviated form by Pegge, Lysons, and Glover. I am 

 indebted to the Rev. J. C. Cox for a perusal of a copy of the MS. that 

 follows this paper, and which has enabled me to obtain the reverses of the 

 few coins preserved, and the names of the emperors under whom they were 

 coined. 



t Reynolds gives this as IOVIS. CVSTOS manifestly in correctly.
