page 351 note 1 Green: a fragmentary example of type D (for list of types see below) in the Sangiorgi collection (Alföldi (1951), p. 72, pl. III, 3), and a complete example of the same type recently acquired by the Corning Museum of Glass (no. 62.1.13, J. Glass Studies, v (1963), 141, no. 5, with illus.). Lavender blue: the nearly complete example of type G from Carlisle (Toynbee and Richmond (1954), pp. 40 ff.).
page 351 note 2 See, e.g., nos. 1 (pi. LXXVIb) and 3 below, from Colchester and Rheingönheim; also one of type D in Brugg Museum (no. 32.966) from Vindonissa (Laur-Belart and Eckinger (1933), pp. 9, 19–21, fig. 11; Curtius (1935), pp. 260 f., pl. 29; Alföldi (1951), p. 72, pls. 11, 4 and III, 4), and one of type E, provenience unknown, B.M., Dept. Greek and Roman Antiq. no. 70.2–24.1 (Alföldi (1951), p. 72, pl. III 5; Toynbee (1955), p. 19, pL. IX 6).
page 351 note 3 For the B.M. piece see Alföldi (1951), p. 68, pl. III, 8 and Toynbee (1955), p. 21, pl. IX, 7; both believe it represents Tiberius. For the one from Carnuntum see Curtius (1939), 142–4, fig. 10, Alföldi (1951), pp. 70, 80, and Toynbee (1955), p. 21; Curtius believed it depicted Marcellus, Alföldi suggests Tiberius, with which Toynbee disagrees and thinks it may perhaps be Nero, belonging to a later set.
page 351 note 4 Toynbee (1955), pp. 18 ff.
page 351 note 5 Toynbee (1955, p. 19) knew of twelve; the thirteenth is a fragment in Vienna (no. XI b 39) showing the main head only, but clearly belonging to this type; Eichler and Kris, op. cit. s.v. type A, no. 4 below, p. 60, no. 17, pl. 7. It is surprising that this example was missed by previous writers, who were well aware of its fellow, no. 16.
page 351 note 6 Toynbee (1955, p. 19) lists four, but one of these (B.M., Dept. Greek and Roman Antiq. no. 65.12–14.86, is entirely different in style, being a cameo with opaque white bust on a clear wine-coloured (not, as T. says, ‘dark blue’) ground, and should be omitted from this series. Two hitherto unrecorded examples, however, bring the number up to five. Oneis the Corning piece (this p., note 1). The other is a grozed fragment, dark blue, showing the main bust only, in the Hermitage Museum, Leningrad (no. ж272, acquired from the Casanova collection in 1792); Neverov, O., Antique Cameos in the Hermitage Collection (text in Russian and English: Aurora Art Publishers, Leningrad, 1971), p. 91, no. 83.Google Scholar
page 352 note 1 The headquarters to which the Xlllth legion was moved from Vindonissa (near Brugg) after a.d. 45. It is of interest that the phalera of type D (p. 351, note 2) found at Vindonissa came from a level attributed to the period before that legion was transferred; Laur-Belart and Eckinger (1933). pp. 9, 21.
page 354 note 1 This account of the excavations is taken from Britannia, ii (1971), 273Google Scholar. The excavation for Harlow Museum and the Department of the Environment was directed by the late Mr. Stuart Eglinton-Mead, who showed the finds to the Department of Prehistoric and Romano-British Antiquities at the British Museum and to Professor S. S. Frere. The temple at Harlow is most recently described, with a full bibliography, in W. Powell, R. (ed.), A History of the County of Essex, iii, Roman Essex (Victoria History of the Counties of England, 1963), pp. 139–43Google Scholar.
page 354 note 2 The fragment was shown at the Ballot Meeting of the Society on 2nd March 1972, at the suggestion of Professor Frere. It is published by kind permission of Mr. D. F. Bull, Clerk of the Harlow Urban District Council.

page 354 note 4 Hemmoor buckets gained their name from the cemetery in Germany in the graves of which were a number of these vessels, and which lies between the mouths of the Weser and the Elbe in Niedersachsen, to the north-west of Hamburg. The original publication of the Hemmoor sites (actually at Warstade and Westersode, near Hemmoor) was by Willers, Heinrich, Die römischen Bronzeeimer von Hemmoor (Hanover and Leipzig, 1901). The most recent consideration of the sites, together with the neighbouring related sites of Quelkhorn, Gudendorf, and Duhnen Wehrberg is Karl Waller, Die Gräberfelder von Hemmoor, Quelkhorn und Duhnen-Wehrberg in Niedersachsen (8. Beiheft zum Atlas der Urgeschichte, ed. by Hans Jürgen Eggers, Hamburgisches Museum für Völkerkunde und Vorgeschichte, 1959).Google Scholar

It was presented in 1901 by Col. A. J. Copeland, F.S.A., of 3, Victoria Parade, Ramsgate. The register describes it as Roman, found in a grave near Ramsgate. The literature makes it clear that the ‘grave’ was a deep shaft. Hillier, loc. cit., describes the bucket as having a capacity of 3 gallons, and subsequent writers have repeated this. The dimensions of the vessel suggest otherwise.

A dedication round the central emblem of the dish reads, Deo Mercurio Kanetonnessi, G(aius) Propert(ius) Secundus v(otum) s(olvit) l(ibens) m(erito). A very similar dish was found in the Egyptian Treasure of Karnak, dated by its coins to the first half of the third century a.d., and another is mentioned among the silver of the lost Treasure of Trier, which is thought to have been buried in the fourth century but to have contained several pieces of the third century: Strong, op. cit., pp. 161, 173, and 211.Google Scholar

page 358 note 2 The British Museum Research Laboratory subsequently reported as follows: ‘A few milligrams of metal were removed from the area which shows evidence of recent damage and were analysed for gold, silver and copper by atomic absorption analysis. The composition of the gold was shown to be: gold 80.8%, silver 13.6%, and copper 3.8%. The analytical error is about ±1%.’
