tho important part played by stamped silver ingots of
a pound in weight in tho currency
of Roman Britain
.-it this period. Various kinds of these ingots in association
with gold and silver wore enumerated, and their issue was
connected with tho London Treasury (Thesauri Auiiusteii-

for the use
of foroign mints, but i-oinod silvrr \\as usod for tho pa> -
inont of thoso on^agod in tho mining industry. It \va-
a significant circumstance that tho final dotaohmont of
Hritain was followod by a practical oossation of tho silver
coinage of the Kmpiro.
