Excavations at Poundbury 1966-80. II
Excavations on the Roman Fort at Abergavenny, Orchard Site, 1972–73
Excavations revealed important elements of a pre-Flavian fort, including a well-preserved clay and turf rampart, barrack blocks and a granary. A good assemblage of contemporary pottery, metalwork and glass was associated with these levels. The results are assessed with a discussion of previous excavations in Abergavenny. The site also yielded the first firm evidence of the town's Norman defensive bank and later Edwardian town wall. A Civil War ph…
Plumbum Britannicum' and Other Remarks
Tonsor Humanus
‘To be shaved by a barber means good all round, for — so to speak — from the act of being shaved (karēnai) proceeds that of being gladdened (charēnai), just one letter being substituted for another. ... ‘By a barber’ is stipulated, because, if one shaves oneself and is not a barber, then that signifies bereavement or a sudden disaster. ... Cutting one's own nails signifies paying one's debts, if one is a debtor. ... ’
Pagans Hill Revisited
This report reviews and updates the evidence from the Roman temple site of Pagans Hill, Chew Stoke, North Somerset, which was partly excavated between 1949 and 1953. This includes a revised terminus post quem for the initial building of the temple complex of c. A.D. 262 and an emphasis of the importance of the location of the well on the axis of a planned layout. This is accompanied by a resumé of a reassessment by George Boon of the sculpture of…

The Porth Felen anchor-stock
A Greco-Roman Anchor-Stock from North Wales
A leaden anchor-stock found off Porth Felen at the tip of the Llŷn peninsula in 1974 is described. So far unique in British waters, the stock is of a Mediterranean pattern obsolete by the time of the Roman conquest of Wales. From its decoration it may be assigned to the late second century B.C., or possibly a little later. The typology of ancient anchors is considered, and the reasons which may have brought a small Mediterranean craft to that spo…
Gold-in-Glass Beads from the Ancient World
Some years ago, with the encouragement of Dr D. B. Harden, I began the pursuit of a type of segmented bead apparently rare in Romano-British contexts, but curiously frequent in the graves of Meroitic Faras. A preliminary note appeared in 1966; now, there is much to add, including (by the generosity of Dr Maria Dekowna and Mme Hanna Pawlowska of the Institute of the History of Material Culture, Polish Academy of Sciences) analyses which in two cas…

A Silver Trumpet-Brooch with Relief Decoration, Parcel-Gilt, from Carmarthen, and a Note on the Development of the Type
The Carmarthen brooch, datable not later than c. a.d. 50 and perhaps as early as c. 25, is a direct two-piece successor to the pre-Roman, one-piece, Aylesford type, now known to be considerably later in date than used to be thought. The two-piece construction, which characterizes the entire British trumpet-brooch series, was adopted as a convenience when the bow was given a massive form in order to accommodate Late Celtic decoration in relief, of…

Sarapis and Tutela
The figures of Sarapis and the Tutela from Calleva, both of superhuman scale, were of a quality seldom met in Roman Britain. The head of Sarapis was found by J. B. P. Karslake in the garden of his house about 1 km from the walls, and without doubt had come from the ancient site on some remote occasion, when it was put to use as the weight in a cheese-press, an iron bar being let into the top of the head, perhaps in the very hole which had once ta…

Un nouveau décor du potier Anunus II
George C. BOON, Un nouveau décor du potier ANVNVS II. Une étude d'un fragment de vase Dr. 37, trouvé en Angleterre, de ce potier assez rare du Centre de la Gaule : il s'agit en effet du sixième exemplaire connu, et du deuxième d'entre eux qui montre un décor à grand rinceau. Des observations sont faites au sujet d'Anunus 'I ', de médaillons formés de cercles concentriques, et de types du Centre utilisés à Banassac
I.—Belgic and Roman Silchester
The excavations were undertaken by the Silchester Excavation Committee supported by donations from public and private bodies and from individuals and by permission of the Duke of Wellington, K.G., F.S.A. Their purpose was the investigation of ( a ) a previously unsuspected polygonal enclosure of about 85 acres, here named the Inner Earthwork, which lay partly inside and partly outside the line of the familiar Roman town wall; and ( b ) a western …

Micaceous Sigillata From Lezoux At Silchester, Caerleon, and Other Sites
In 1937 Dr. Felix Oswald contributed a paper to the Journal of Roman Studies entitled ‘Carinated bowls (Form 29) from Lezoux’. Twenty years previously James Curie had published a paper in the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland which described and illustrated inter alia some early Lezoux decorated ware in the celebrated Plicque collection at the Musée des Antiquités Nationales, Saint-Germain-en-Laye
The Dolaucothi Drainage Wheel
The discovery of an oak board from the box-rim of a de-watering device at the Dolaucothi mine is reported by O. Davies in Arch. Camb. XCI (1936), 51–7. An examination of the specimen, which is in the National Museum of Wales, in the light of parallels from the Iberian peninsula and elsewhere led to the accompanying attempt at a reconstruction of the original design. The Dolaucothi wheel is the only British representative of its type, and, curious…

Roman Antiquities at Welshpool
Circumstances of discovery . In August 1959 workmen laying a drain on the north side of the cattle-market (the Smithfield) at Welshpool, Montgomeryshire, discovered a number of Roman objects. The most striking were taken home, and the rest were left on the trench-side, where they served as targets for children throwing stones. That the find ever came to notice is due entirely to Mr. G. H. Shepherd, a tutor at Kingston-upon-Hull, whose home is nea…
