oration for Quinctius, mentions an Imperator of that name as 
holding command in Granl. 3. A denarius of Titus Yeturius. 
Obverse, a head of Rome helmeted, with the legend Ti. Yet. and 
X. ; reverse, Roma. Two men with spears, between whom kneels 
a third, having a young pig on his lap. It was the custom of the 
Romans, in making a peace, to sacrifice a pig, its skull being split 
by the fetialis, according to traditional usage, with a sharp flint, the 
contracting parties indicating their participation by touching the 
victim. Such a transaction is here represented. It is not easy to 
say what the treaty was, perhaps that which ended the Social war 
between the Romans and their Italian allies, b. c. 90. 4. A denarius 
of Caius Lentulus, of the gens Cornelia. Obverse, head of the 
youthful Hercules, with lion’s skin and club, a shield, and the letter 
theta; reverse, Yictory offering a wreath to a military figure ; in 
the exergue. Lent. Mar. F. (Marcelli filius.) As the military person 
has a mural crown, it is supposed the coin was struck on occasion 
of the capture of a city, but the particular event is not known. 
5. Is a denarius of elegant execution ; on the obverse, a laureated 
head; on the reverse, Yictory in a quadriga. The quadriga and 
the biga appear to have been the stamp of the fii’st silver coinage 
of the Romans, issued shortly before the fitst Punic war. The 
standard having been subsequently debased, the denarii with this 
stamp were more highly valued, and Hannibal, after the battle of 
Cannae, stipulated that the ransom of his prisoners should be 
paid in “ numi quadrigati.” 6. The Dioscuri on horseback, two 
stars above their heads ; below, a trident; in the exergue, Roma. 
7. Coin of Domitian as Caesar in his sixth consulship, a. d. 77. 
The proper consuls of the year were his father Yespasian, and his 
brother Titus ; he was an honorary consol (suffectus), and his 
colleague was Julius Agricola, who, on the expiration of his year 
of office, was appointed to the command in Britain. The reverse 
exhibits two joined hands, and a military standard planted on the 
prow of a vessel, and surmounted by a wi’eath and an eagle. 8. Coin 
of Hadrian, in his third consulship, a.d.119. 9. Coin of Philippus 
(pater); on the reverse four standards and the legend Fides 
Exercitus. 10. Coin of Severus, found outside Micklegate Bar. 
Mr. Stillingfleet’s donation includes coins found at Dryham, near 
North Cave, at Spaldington, near Howden, at Market Weighton, 
and at Goodmanham. None of them are of any great amount, 
but I think it well to record them, as they may help to solve that, 
as yet, doubtful problem, the Roman occupation of Yorkshire.
