came by degrees to be Emperor of Rome ; and indeed 
one of the Greateft, that ever Rome had : Ho\*f He, with 
his two Sons, Bafiianus and Geta, (three Roman Emperors J 
refided, at one and the fame time, here in Britain') and 
from hence fent their Imperial Edidis, Orders, and Dis- 
patches, into all parts of the Empire : and after an ama- 
zing Grcatnefs of about twenty four Years,* and a Courfe 
of almoft all Virtues and Vices, at length tumbled down ; 
lubmitting to the Accidents and Fate of other Men ; and 
were all buried at Rome, in the Septizodium built by 
Severus. 
To thefe Memoirs of Geta, the Author has fubjoyned 
a Difcourfe, concerning that curious Cimclium, which 
was, fome Years fince, found at Athelney in Somerfet. It 
did belong to K. yElfred, and is now in the Pofleflion of 
Col Palmer of Fairfield , in that County. Befide the cri- 
tical ufe made of it, by the learned 1 Dr. FJickes, our Au- 
thor writes of it, as an undeniable Infiance of the ufe of Ima- 
ges, coming from the Heathens into the Chrifiian Church. 
The Book is adorned with feveral Cuts, of the Broken 
Statue at Bath, of two of Geta *s Silver-Cojns, of the Sep- 
tizodium Severi, (out of Ferae ) and three Tides of the 
x&fMihw Azlfredi.
