VII. STAMPED AND SCULPTURED INSCRIPTIONS 

 ON TILES, BRICK, AND STONES. 



The following is a List of all the examples of Inscriptions 

 stamped on Tiles, or cut in Brick or Stone, found during the 

 Excavations, as far as I have been able to trace and examine 

 them. The letters prefixed have the same significations as be- 

 fore. The Inscription on the Altar, found at South Shields in 

 the seventeeth century, is given in Dr. Bruce' s Lapidarium Sep- 



tentrionale. 



_ TILES. 



1. a. CO H V"G 



Faint. But the whole legend complete on a band. There 

 appears to have been some kind of slight ornament before the C 

 and after the G. 



2. a. C O H~VG 

 The G imperfect. 



3. a. HT"G 



The H imperfect. On account of the great importance of 

 these inscriptions, Woodcuts, (Nos. 12 and 13,) are here inserted 

 of these two fragments, which together contain the whole legend.
