(3^0 
trough, which is of the Red Clay, but much courfer 
thaa the Tork Urns : I was well pleafed to find it whole, 
that I might obferve the difference betwixt their Congius 
(of which I take this to be ftridly the halfj and our 
Gallon^ and this comes the nigheft Mr. Graves's Compu- 
tation, containing Three Pints and an half the Whche/Ier 
Meafure. 
The laft Week I received a valuable Prefent of Two 
and Twenty old Roman Coins, from Mr. Townely of 
Townely, which were lately found in the Parifti oi Burn- 
ley in Lancafhire^ which are the more acceptable, becaufe 
many of them are Confular, or Family Coins, one of 
them, viz,Qj::afm,\Nzs i6z Years C^r//?«w accor- 
ding to Goltzius's Method, being ftriCtly the fame he 
places ^n. Z)r6, Cond. jSp. 
That they were the ancient Roman Denarii^^ni Coin'd 
before the Emperors Times (not withdanding the contra- 
ry Sentiments of fome Learned Men} I think is evident, 
becaufe there is moftly, inftead of the Emperor's Head, 
the antick Form of tht Caput Vrhis, without Infcription, 
befides, Tacitus calls thefe Bigati and Quadrigatiy pecu- 
mam veterem ac diu notam : Again others have upon them 
ROM A, which I find not ufed by any of the Emperors, 
(except thofe finall Pieces upon the Tranflaticn of the 
Empire to Conflantinople) again, the Letters in thefe are 
often interwoven, as pirticularly in one I have of 
L. Valerius Flaccm A.V.C. CDXCII. which according 
to Goltzius, is the Seventh Year after the Rom^s firft 
ftampt Silver Monies I and to mention no more, many 
are of the Serratos filed in fmall Notches round the 
Edge, of which Sort I have of Scipio Afiaticm^ &c. and 
other Confular Pieces, but never faw any of a later 
Dare.
