TO THE 
MONTHLY MEETINGS, 
1869 . 
March 2.—Tlie Eev. J. Kexrick: presented two coins, one of 
large brass of tbe Emperor Hadrian, found near tbe railway 
station, when tbe second arcbway was opened through the city 
walls. It exhibits on the obverse the head of the Emperor; on the 
reverse Concordia in the exergue, and a sitting figure of Concord, 
which well illustrates the skill of the Eoman medallists in 
allegorical expression. She is seated, the posture of permanence ; 
she has a patera in her hand, for Concord is strengthened by 
Eeligion; a cornucopim is placed beneath her chair, for she is the 
parent of prosperity. Behind her is a statuette of Hope, who has 
a flower in her hand, a promise of the futui’e; her garment is 
slightly drawn aside, for hope is of things not fully seen, and she 
stands on a square basis, the emblem of stability, as a globe is of 
instability. This coin is of the year A. d. 117—the year of 
Hadrian’s accession. The other coin is a denarius of M. Aquillius, 
monetary trimnvir. The reverse has the word Sicil. and a figure 
of a warrior, raising a female from the ground. The triumvir was 
probably a descendant of that Aquillius who in the year b. c. 100 
put down an insurrection of the slaves in Sicily. (Elorus iii. 19). 
Mr. Kenrick also called attention to a paper presented by I. B. 
Davis, Esq., M. D., on “Eunic Calendars and Clogg Almanacs.” 
They have sometimes been confounded; but the Eunic Calendars 
are inscribed with the characters called Eunes, the alphabet of the 
Scandinavian nations, probably derived from an early Greek 
alphabet and ha\fing only sixteen letters. The clogg almanacs, 
chiefly found in Staffordshire, are later in origin than the con¬ 
version of the northern nations to Christianity. Their common
