2 28 ROMAN COINS IN DERBYSHIRE. 



The figure on y e Reverse scarce discernable, and a few faint 

 letters of an inscription something like the following. 

 .... V .... S .. CO ... . 



II. Wears a radiated Diadem, & this dim and imperfect 

 circumscription 



TETRICVSA 



which is just sufficient to tell us y' it was one of y e usurper Tetricus's. 



Reverse. 



Reverse has an upright figure thereupon (but very faint) seem- 

 ing to hold a cornucopia with y e left hand and arm, much like 

 y e Reverse of Commodus's (No. X.), but no Letters (ne vestigia 

 quidem) are distinguishable 



III- Another coin with a head encompassed with, or wearing a 

 radiated Diadem, very plain, but part of y e inscription is cankered 



off with rust, what remains is as follows IMP PEAVG. 



Reverse. 



A female figure sejant right hand extended, & holding some- 

 thing in it, inscription not legible, tho y e Vestiges of Letters 

 remain. 



IIIL, V., VI., VII., VIII. Have each a faint Figure of a Head 

 on y e obverse, but no inscription upon y l or y e Reverse. 



9th of March, 1778. Abraham Harrison and another labourer 

 as y ey were removing a heap of stones in Culland Park, in the 

 Parish of Crich, found a large flat stone among them, lying upon 

 two others, which stood on an edge, under which was a mug pot, 

 narrower at top than in y e middle, being in fact an antient urn, in 

 which was a large quantity of copper coin, viz., about 700, some 

 as big again as others & more. The pot or urn was so rotten y l 

 it broke in pieces, but y ey took y e money and sold it for what they 

 could get in y e neighbourhood. The inscriptions on those I have 

 seen are as follows. 



I. The Emperor's head bound about with a plain Diadem and 

 this Inscription. 



IMPDIOCLETIANVSAVG.
