page 217 note 72 For somewhat similar acanthus scroll-work with figures of men and animals in it, of style IV, in the portico of the Temple of Isis at Pompeii see Olga Elia, Pompeii (Mon. della pittura antica scoperti in Italia. Sez. III), fasc. III–IV, Le pitture del Tempio di Iside, p. 6, Tav. VI, VII, fig. 1, 5. It was found in 1764 (F. M. Avellino, Tempio di Iside (1851) Tav. VII, 1, 2) and part is now in Naples Museum. Miss Elia, o.c. p. 37, compares a similar frieze of ‘spirale orizzontale di acanto, zoofera, che costituisce una specie di cifra del sistema decorativo del pittore del Tempio di Iside’ in the Triclinium of the House of Siricus (cf. Spinazzola, , Le arti decorative in Pompei (Milan, 1928) p. 105)Google Scholar, and another in the Atrium of the House of the Tragic Poet. These are of mid-first century date. The first has also been compared with an acanthus scroll frieze found at Herculaneum and another, not illustrated, possibly from the Domus Aurea in Rome (then called the Palace or Baths of Titus), see Museo Borbonico IX (1833)Google Scholar, XXIV, and another scroll in Pompeii, VII (1831), LVII (hence Ainé, Roux, Herculaneum et Pompéi V (Paris, 1862), 61, pl. 31Google Scholar, and 1 (1861), 120, pl. 91). The scroll with masks, animals, and birds used by wall-painters of the later first century in Italy could easily still exist in the pattern-books fifty or so years later in the provinces. For birds other than pheasants, in foliage, see Gabriel, M. M., Livia's garden room at Prima Porta (New York, 1955)Google Scholar, now in the Museo Nazionale at Rome.

page 227 note 8 Found with other burials, of which one was in an uninscribed leaden coffin. Mr. H. G. Ramm kindly sent full details. The coffin is now in the Yorkshire Museum; Mr. G. F. Willmot kindly supplied a photograph. At the right-hand end of the lid the intact portion at the back was deleted on the negative.

page 227 note 9 CIL VII, 246, Yorkshire Museum Cat. no. 41.

page 228 note 10 Mr. J. Brown has presented the coffin to the Yorkshire Museum, York. Mr. L. P. Wenham kindly sent full details and, aided by Professor E. Birley, a reading. Mr. H. G. Ramm, on request, kindly provided a squeeze. No other Roman find is known from this vicinity. While few bones could be recovered from the coffin, there were parts of four thigh bones which seemed to be too large to be female. If this estimate proves to be correct it shows that, as an interment for two men, this was secondary, and this is supported by the concealment in the ground of the primary text.

page 228 note 11 The mason has failed to differentiate the letters M and A. For the cognomen Wenham reads ; from the squeeze it seems to be MAMMIOLAE, a diminutive formed from the well-attested nomen Mammius.

Collingwood's block for the Roman Inscriptions of Britain shows this damaged tail, but when he made a similar block for CW his addition of much shading eliminated it.

page 229 note 21 Professor E. Birley kindly suggested c(ohortis) I pr(aetoriae). C as the abbreviation of c(ohors) occurs on CIL VII, 302. For evocatus cohortis in the third century see CIL X, 538 (Salernum), CIL V, 543 (Tergeste), Mommsen EE V, p. 147. The title Maximiniana was applied to the barracks of the equites singulares (CIL XVI, no. 146) in A.D. 237, and to legio III Augusta (ILS 4194) and to a cohors Maurorum (ILS 2552); this is its sole occurrence in Britain. It dates the stone to A.D. 235–8.

page 229 note 22 The map reference is NT/027827. The stone is now in the National Museum of Antiquities, Edinburgh. Mr. R. B. K. Stevenson kindly sent details, and Dr. K. A. Steer sent a photograph and answered inquiries.

page 230 note 24 Mr. H. Price, one of the earlier finders of the stone, saved it from destruction. When informed of it by Mr. A. Rees, Mr. T. Pennant Williams borrowed it for temporary study and kindly supplied full details, photographs, and a squeeze. Mr. G. Webster kindly sent notification and recognized it as a milestone of Severus Alexander.

page 230 note 25 CIL VII, 1164. NVM may now be conjectured from the reading N.VMNC of ‘Mr. Davies of Bangor’ (as R. Fenton recorded in his ‘Tours in Wales (1804–13)’, published as Cambrian Arch. Assoc. suppl. vol. (1917), p. 215).

page 230 note 26 Mr. D. A. Thompson found the first pig in ploughing and with Mr. H. W. W. Ashworth and Professor L. S. Palmer excavated the other three. The pigs are now on loan in Wells Museum. The site (grid ref. ST 576514) lies about 1,200 yards north of the cross-roads at Green Ore formed by the Bristol-Wells road and the Roman road which runs south-eastward from Charterhouse-on-Mendip; it is about 700 yards north-east of this Roman road. Despite the absence of habitation-material, many sherds have been found in this field; part of a bowl found in the pit has been dated to the period A.D. 60–80, and other sherds assigned to the third century. Grateful acknowledgments are due to Professor L. S. Palmer for the loan of his report, to Professor I. A. Richmond for taking measurements and making squeezes, and to Mr. H. E. Balch and Mr. G. Webster.

page 231 note 28 Dessau ILS gives ten examples of this name in one or other of its spellings; the feminine name Trifosa at Bath (CIL VII, 53), presumably a variant of the Greek Tryphosa, supports Trifo as a variant of Trypho.

page 231 note 33 CIL VII, 1203, EE VII, 1120. When reweighed in 1952, it weighed 166 lb. or 230 librae. The value of the libra is here taken to be 11·55 oz. (avoirdupois).

page 231 note 34 PSA2 XXXI (1918), 37Google Scholar. The weight of the heavier pig recorded in 1918 as 178 lb. proved to be 174 lb. (or 241 librae) when weighed by the present writer in 1951. The incuse numbers are IIVI, presumably a mistake for VIII. The lighter pig, now lost, was stamped VIII and is recorded as having weighed 166 lb. (or 230 librae).

page 231 note 35 Miss D. Charlesworth found it in 1956 in sorting the material stored by H.M. Ministry of Works in Wall Museum, and kindly sent it for study.
