in Norfolk and Yorkshire — the money of the Iceni and 
the Brigantes. 
Haying now arrived at the coins of this latter county, I 
may remark that the dominions of the Brigantes appear to 
have comprised Yorkshire, Lancashire, and other northern 
counties, and are described by Ptolemy as extending from 
sea to sea. Their most populous towns, whose sites can now 
he ascertained with any degree of certainty, are Caturac- 
tonium (Catterick Bridge), Isurium (Aldborough), Olicana 
(Ilkley), and Eboracum (York). Being situated so far north 
we find no mention of the Brigantes or their rulers in Roman 
history until a.d. 50 or 51. Coins belonging to Yorkshire 
have been discovered at Pickering, Almondbury, and Light- 
cliffe, near Halifax. Most of the coins of the Brigantes have 
been found in the southern parts of Yorkshire and in Lincoln- 
shire, and have generally occurred to the number of three or 
four together, and sometimes associated with Roman coins. 
From the localities where these coins have been found, there 
is little doubt of their having been struck by the Brigantes, 
though the fragmentary legends upon them afford no clue 
which will connect them with either the name of the tribe 
or of any of its cities or princes. The principal of these 
legends are the following : — volisios-dvmno-co-veros; dvmn- 
tigip-seno (?) ; hsvp(?)-sv; and vep-corf. With reference 
to the date of the Yorkshire coins there is, however, a certain 
amount of evidence to guide us. Their type is perhaps the 
rudest of all the copies from the prototype, and so barbarous 
an imitation of the Philippus as to place them amongst the 
latest of the British coins. The metal is also much deterio- 
rated, pointing to a late date. In most instances also they 
have been found associated with Roman coins. In 1829, 
sixteen or eighteen were found at Almondbury (the Oam- 
bodunum of Leland), with 200 Roman family coins, some of 
which were in tolerable preservation, while the British coins
