Diet, places it on Standard Hill]. In 1777 an urn containing nearly two hundred denarii was turned up by the plough. Among the emperors represented were Vespasian, Domitian, Trajan, and Hadrian, also the two Faustinas ( 70-175), and a few coins of Julius Caesar, Augustus, and Tiberius, once preserved in a local collection, may have come from the same hoard. Throsby describes a coin of Augustus with divi f. avg on obv. and Apollo on rev., with ACT for Actium ^ [Merrey, Remarks on the Coinage of Engl. pp. 6, 100 ; Thoroton, Hist. Notts, (ed.

Holme Pierrepont.—An ancient cemetery found here in 1842 seems to have been Saxon rather than Roman ; but with the Saxon objects were one or two undoubtedly Roman, viz. a brooch in the form of a spotted quadruped, and part of a thin yellow glass bowl about six inches in diameter, with the figure of a bird, and part of an inscription semper (fig. 11) \Journ.
