Nos. 8 and 11 are a later development, of which an example 
was found at Bath, in association with a hoard of coins from 
Severus to Gratian, and therefore not earlier than the end of the 
IV. Century.

Brit. Arch. Assoc., 31 March, 1863. 
Another example found at Corbridge is recorded by Haverfield, 
Arch. Ael. 2nd Series, V. (1909), fig. 44.

3. Fluted, Folded or Indented. 
Fluting, foldings, and indentations on the sides of round bodied 
beakers are evidently intended to provide a finger hold, instead of 
handles ; and the sides of the same vessels are frequently ‘ rough¬ 
cast,’ or coated with particles of sand, or clay fastened on by 
means of the glaze, for a similar purpose. 
Though rare in the early Roman period they have been met 
with on stunted, wide-mouthed round-bodied beakers, both green- 
glazed and varnished, in the great camp at Haltern in Westphalia, 
dating from about B.C. 11 to A.D. 9. Loeschcke, Haltern Y ., 
p. 192, type 24 ; p. 222, type 44, plate XXL, 4. 
The irregular character of the indentations distinguishes these 
vessels from those of later date, on which the foldings are vertical 
and at regular intervals. 
Among the earliest recorded examples in this country are those 
belonging to the Flavian period, not later than about A.D. 96, 
found at Newstead. These are likewise rough cast. 
Curie, Newstead, p. 248, plate XLVI., type 31, and XLIX. (B), 
fig 6. 
The thick-set, deeply indented beakers, with thin sides, well 
saturated with colour-coating or varnish, and also usually ‘ rough¬ 
cast,’ are stated to have first appeared in the Rhine district before 
the end of the Flavian period, by Kcenen, p. 86, plate XVI., 26.
