RECENT DISCOVERIES OF ROMAN COINS. 31<br />

bares qu'elles soient, sont le produit d'une basse epoque.<br />

Nous avons trouve dans le tresor de Jublains plus de<br />

douze cents monnaies des deux Tetricus affreusement<br />

traitees et telles qu'on en croirait les coins ciseles par un<br />

patre, ignorant des plus simples<br />

notions du dessin et des<br />

plus elementaires principes de Fe'pigraphie."<br />

M. Hucher has copiously illustrated his work by exam-<br />

ples, for comparison,<br />

from <strong>the</strong> two hoards. Some few are<br />

not mentioned by M. Cohen or by M. de Witte ; but it is<br />

probable that examples may be found elsewhere. He<br />

reads <strong>the</strong> names <strong>of</strong> both fa<strong>the</strong>r <strong>and</strong> son as Caius Pius<br />

Esuvius Tetricus. In <strong>the</strong> Blanchardiere collection he has<br />

found several <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> younger Tetricus with <strong>the</strong> word Pius<br />

at full length ; but it seems that only one instance occurs<br />

in <strong>the</strong> coins <strong>of</strong> Jublains.<br />
