ing found near no Roman Jiation^ and far enough removed f ronri 
any Roman high-way ; (except the branches of Akemanjlreet from 
from Ram/den and WoodJIock, might happily pafs thefe places:) but 
I guefs not fet here till they wholly pofieft themfelves of this 
Southern part of Britan^ and might fecurely enough pafs their 
Armies zny where ; and therefore cannot afford them any high- 
er antiquity than the time of Agricola the Lieutenant of Fe/pafian^ 
who compleated the Roman Conquefts ; or at moft of Paulinus, 
thzt defeated Boa dicea,

ed, railed by the Romans over their dead in memory of them, 
they placed the more immediate receptacles of their afies^ or at 
leaft fome part of them, as much as could befaved in the Fasujiri- 
num ; for they were not fo curious as fome have imagined, to 
fcrape together all the bones and ajhes of the Corps ^zs may be eafily 
coUedted from the frtialnefs of all Z/r;75,but Family ones. Yet over 
*all their Vrns they raifed not fuch a tumulus; for we find them ma- 
ny times in level ground, though containing the remains of noble 
Perfons^ as may be gueffed by the Lamps^ Lachrymatories^ and Fef- 
fels of Oyls^ or Aromatical Liquors fomtimes found with them.

glafi^ depided 7^7^. 15. Fig, 23. mufl needs be one, found in 
a place called bujhy Leas^ betwixt Brightwel and Chalgrave^ be- 
ing part of the poifeffions of that right worthy Gentleman, j^obn 
Stone of Brightml Efq; furrounded with no lefs than twelve of 
thofe Z/w, 7lz3. 1 5 . Fi^. 24. both which, amongfl: many other 
fignal favors, were kindly beflowed on me by the fame worthy 
perfon. That the Earthen pot^ Fig,2/^, is a Roman Urn, 1 take to 
be fo plain, that it would not need proof, though one of the 
four Regal high-ways were much farther removed than Ikenild way 
is, which comes upalmoftto Ewelm^ not far from this place.* 
But whether this glafs contained a lamp^ were a Lachrymatoriey or 
a veffel contzmmgwater^ or [ome Aromatical liquor^ is the great 
queftion next to be determined. 
59. That the Bodies of great Perfons were ufually accompa- 
nied with Z^w?/?^ after death, is plain from the Civil Law and 
to interr Lamps with them, was heretofore fo frequent, that For-
