^ -K quities, and the zeal you have ever 
fliewn in the prefervation of them, encourage me to 
addrefs to you the following account of fome curious 
remains of Roman antiquity, found a few years fince 
at Bonn in Lower Germany. 
In a journey to Italy, in the fummer of 1757* 
paffing through Germany and the Tyrol, I had 
opportunities of collecting feveral ancient Roman in- 
fcriptions, which, upon examination afterwards, I 
found had never been publilhed. Upon my arrival 
in Tufcany, I therefore communicated them to fuch, 
among my literary friends, as delighted in thefe ftu- 
dies, and my German infcriptions were foon after 
publilhed by Dr. Lami, profeffor of theology at 
Florence ( I ).
