468 Notes on the Roman Antiquities in the Westbury 



The names of four of these potters occur also on the pottery 

 from Padding Pan Pock, namely, those of ALBUCIUS, MAPCUS, 

 PAULLUS, and SEXTUS. 



Eight other names are found on forms identical with those from 

 the Pock and are therefore considered to be approximately contem- 

 porary in date. They are:— AETEPNUS, BOPILLUS, ELVIL- 

 LUS, ESCUSIUS, MUXTULLUS, PRISCUS, PEBUPRIUS, and 

 PEDITUS. 1 



As all the names actually found on the Pock pottery have now 

 been identified as makers of Lezoux, it is probable that these others, 

 although marked as of uncertain locality on the list, are really of 

 Lezoux. 2 



All the names in the collection, with the one exception of 

 CLNNAMUS, are stamped on plain undecorated dishes, or shallow 

 bowls, in the centre of the vessel on the inside. The name 

 CINNAMI occurs on the outside of a piece of a decorated bowl ; 

 the letters are raised and read backwards, and are framed in a 

 narrow panel of cable pattern moulding. The name of CINNAMUS 

 is well known as that of one of the most important and prolific of 

 the second century potters of Lezoux. He is believed to have 

 lived in the period of the Antonines, and this epoch marks the 

 height of the prosperity of the industry, and of the greatest distri- 

 bution of the Lezoux wares. 3 



The stamp of G-NATIUS, that appears on an open bowl with a 

 very bright glaze and of an unusually lightred colour, is interesting 

 as one of the only four recorded examples of this maker's name in 

 Britain, while there are none from the Continent. One of these 

 was found at York, and is now in the Museum there ; another 

 found at Cirencester is in the Corinium Museum in that town ; 

 and, in a different form, G-N ATI. M, on a bowl that was found at 

 Newbury, now in the collection of Mr. J. W. Brooke, at Marl- 

 borough.
