Broad, at the Narrower Fnd, and nigh 12 and a half, at the Broader ;This was the Lowest parr, for the Feet, and the rest were propotionablyBroader till it came to the Shculders ; tis an hich thick Ixfides the Ledges,which are one Broad and Two Thick, and extend from thcbottom of ei-ther Side to within 3 Incbes of the Top, vherc 'tis wholly Flat,and somewhat Thinner for the next to ly upon it ; which Several parrswere thus joyn’d tqgether by forne Pin, 1 preliime, for at the End of eachTile is a Hole that would receive a common Slate-Pin. These Edges arewrought a litrle Hollow, to receive the Sides, I suppofe, and at the Feetare two contrary Notchcs to fasten the End-piece. This Bottcm I fhculdconclude to have confisted strictly of 8 such Parts, from a litte Character 8va Sup.Voi.u Imprest upon the Qlay by the Sandapilarius ’s Finger before its Baking, butxxVxt 1 Stlf ' ‘hat I somewhat doubt whether Numeral Figures be ofthat Antiquity inthese Ewropean Part?. I got also forne Scrrs of Broken Urns, dug up inMr. Gi/u’s Garden, which are ot the Fmefi Clay 1 have ften, with whichwas found a Roman Shuttle , about 3 Inches and an half Long, but not cneBroad in the very Middle : the Holiow for the Licium being but one 4 thof an Inch in the broadest place, Ihews that it was either for Stlk ot veryFine Linnen, perhaps their Asbeftimm or Incombufiible Windig Sheets. Ihave also lately Procured a Roman Pottle from Aldbrougb , which is of theRed-Clay, but much Courier than the Toxk Vrtts: I take it to be strictlythe Half of their Congius, and comes the nighest Mr. Grcaves’s Computa-tion, containing 3 Pints and an Half the Winchester-Mensure.

I have received 22 OLI Roman Coins, from Mr. Tcovnely oiTotvnely , whichwere lately found in the Parifh of Burnlty in Lancajhsre- Many of them•fcre Consular , or Family Cotus, one of them, viz,. Q. Cassius, was 162 Ytarsante Christum according to Goln.his’% Mahod, being strictly the fame heplaces^. U C. 589. That they were the anclent Roman Denarii, and Cottidbefore the Empercrs Times (notwlthstanding the contrary Scntimer.rs of so meLearned Men) I think, is Evident, because there is niostly, instead of theEtnptrors Head, the Antick Form of the Capttt Urbis, without Inscription ;befides, Tacitus casis these Bigati and Quadrigati, Pecuniam Veterem ac Diunotam-, Again, others have upon them ROMA, which I find not usedby any of the Emperors, fexcept thofe small Pieces upon the Tranflation ofthe Empire to Conftantmofle ) ; again, the Letter? in these are osten interwo-ven, as particularly V—L in one I have of L. Valerius Flaccus. A. U. C.CDXCII. which according to Goltz^-us, is the 7 th. Year aster the Romansfirst Stampt Silver Montes ; and to mention no more, many are of the Ser-ratis filed in small Notches round the Edge, of which sort I have of ScipioAsiaticas , &c. and other Consular Pitccs: but 1 never faw any of a LaterDate.
