under lArhicus Lol lifts , in the Time o 4 Af. Aw. Antoninus » 
about A. D . 140. The Altar is very large $ hollow at 
the Top, (as ufuaf) for Incenfe: On the Sides, are in- 
grav’d a Bull’s Head 3 with Garlands, and Sacrificing 
Inftruments. 
H. The Teeth and Bones, which were difcover’d, by 
the River Tyne's breaking in upon the Bank, were found 
near the Foundations of the Old Fort j and neither 
higher up, nor lower down, than the Ruines of it feem 
to reach. I examin’d the Perfon who made the firft

the ordinary Dimenfions of thole of Sheep and Oxen.

more eafily corrupted, than the Bones, which are of a 
harder Subftance. The Teeth look as if they were Hu-

Shank* Bones 5 that fhould any One compute (as I fup-
