 211- ANCIENT CAMBRIDGESHIRE. Thcodosius, Ilonorius, and Arcadiiis in particular, A denarius of the first of these emperors was sent me from Castle Camps, and from Sluidy Camps I have seen a bronze ladle. All this locality teems with vestiges of the Latins, and it is only surprising that the smaller building should have been at Bartlow, while the extensive ruins and infinite variety of remains scattered all over Sunken Church Field, Iladstock, point out that place as the residence of the chief of the settlement. Coins from Domitian downwards arc liere abundant, particularly those of Carausius and Allcctus, with denarii of Sevcrus Alexander, Gallicnus, and Postumus. In Ashdon, a village nearly' joining IJartlow, Roman pottery and early coins have been met with. Chestcrford is so well known, that I need only remark respecting it, that a perfect series of coins might have been formed thence, if all those removed by antiquaries at different periods were now available. The numerous other remains and houses round it, prove it to have been a place of impoi'tance. Littlebury occasionally produces a Roman coin, while from the Ring Camp at Audley End, though we have the evidence of our eyes as to its nature, and Stukeley mentions that a gold coin of Claudius and a silver patera were found there, I have never seen any traces of Roman occupation, except a coin of Titus, and one of Carausius from the adjacent field. In the fiower-garden at Audley End fragments of Roman i)ottery have been turned up, and also a coin of Vespasian, amid the debris of mediiuval buildings. The interesting Museum at Safl'ron Walden dis])lays numy coins and Roman fictilia, brought to light near that town. From specimens in the valuable collection there, I am enabled to add Lindsell to my list of places which have furnished mementos of the Roman conquerors ; and in the more innnediate parishes of Debdcn, Wimbish, and Widdington, pottery and coins have been discovered. iJebden, IStanstead, and Dunniow, may also boast of having each produced a gold (((in ol Ctniobcline. Retracing my steps by Quendon Street, Rickling, and Arkesden, all Roman sites to (lie west of the linus(> i-ecently excavated at Wc^nden,"" Elmdon, and Ciii-isliall, w illi i iieir store of bronze spears and palstaves, must not be omitted. liangloy and Hcyilon give fni'llicr pi-ooflhal the county of "^ Sec I'HJ^t: 77 ill this vdluiiii'.
