98 ACCOUNTS, ETC., OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM. 



A representative selection of 65 silver, base silver, and 

 bronze coins, from a very important hoard, buried about the 

 middle of the 2nd century, and found in South Hampshire, 

 comprising Roman silver and bronze coins, Gaulish imitations 

 of Roman silver and bronze coins, and native British and 

 Gaulish coins in silver and bronze. The selection includes 

 six silver pieces of the S.W. district and of the Channel Islands, 

 and two (probably Gaulish) imitations of denarii of Julius 

 Ciesar and of Vitellius, both made at the same time; bronze 

 imitations (probably Gaulish) of coins of Claudius I. ; and a 

 hitherto quite unknown series of cast bronze pieces, repre- 

 senting the final degradation of the Macedonian head and biga 

 types from which the British were derived.
