CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND. 
A more particular account and defcription 
of the Roman facrificial vafes found lately at 
Carlifle. (See our laft Number.) Thefe an- 
tiquities are of incalculable value, both from 
their extreme rarity, and from the elegance 
of the workmanfhip. The Latin name of 
the vafe is prefericulum, and it is believed to 
have been appropriated to the purpofe of 
holding the incenfe, &c. ufed in the facrifice. 
Many that have been brought from Greece 
and Sicily are in high eftimation with the 
curious, for the grace and elegance of the 
workmanfhip, and the beauty of the relief, 
in the ornaments. The Grecian veffels are 
principally of fine clay or bronze. The 
vafes we are here treating of are fuppofed to 
be the firft that have been ever difcovered in 
Britain; as there is but one fuch a fculptured 
weilel among all the altars found in this 
country, and that is 2 beautiful Roman altar, 
difcovered at Ellenboro’, and which is now 
in the pofieffion of Lord Vifcount Lowther: 
The lait mentioned altar has the following 
in{cription : ‘* Genie loci, Fortune reduci Rome 
aterne, et Fate bona.”’ It is particularly de- 
{cribed by Cambden and Horfley, with a 
number of obfervations on the inftruments 
“feulptured on its fides, which inftruments are 
the prefericulum, the patera, the ax:, and 
the knife.. The metal which the vafes re- 
cently difcovered are formed of, appears to 
be a compofition of refined brafs, capable of 
receiving a very high polifh, and fo very 
flexible that it allowed the artificer to form 
them remarkably thin, At the top and 
bottom of the vafes, they have unqueftionably 
been turnedand finifhed inalathe. As there 
is no accompanying altar or infcription, it-is 
dificult to affign exa&tly at what time of the 
empire thefe facred veffels were ufed. The 
only guide is the elegant fculpture of the 
handles, which confifts of four tiers of groupes 
of figures, of admirable workmanship, and 
all apparently illuftrative of the ceremonials 
of facrifice. The uppermoft reprefents two 
perfons holding or preparing a cow or bul- 
lock for the a&t of facrifice; the next a per- 
fon taking hold of a bear for the fame pur- 
pofe; the third a prieft attired in his robes, 
‘ftanding at an altar, and holding fomething 
on it; the lower one, which is the mott 
beautiful, reprefents, on the one fide, a man 
cloathed in complete armour, holding a knife, 
as if about to facrifice a fheep or a lamb, 
which another perfon below holds up for the 
fame purpofe; and on the other fide ftands 
the prieft, with another knife or {word, at- 
tending the ceremony, Sc. &c. |
