10 KOMAN COINS.One of the emperors on horseback spearing a lion appears to referto a type of Commodus (Akerman, No. 99), but the legend is illegiblein the drawing There is also a specimen of Lucius Verus with the.type of 9^Esculapius, and SALVTI. AVG. v. S.P.Q.R. TR. POT. in. cos, n." In the month of May 1842, after a heavy fall of rain, an earthenpot was discovered in a piece of waste land belonging to the villageof Vellaloor, about four miles to the east of the town of Coimbatore,which on examination was found to be filled with silver coins. Whenbrought to the Collector, they were found to be Roman Denarii, 522in number, chiefly of the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius, with afew of Caligula and Claudius. The earthen vessel in which they hadlain was like the common terra-cotta lota of the present time. It wasbroken to pieces in the scramble of the finders to possess themselvesof its contents. Vellaloor is not known to be remarkable as a placeof importance either in ancient or modern times." Only eleven different types were found to occur in the large numberof coins above mentioned.1.

I took casts ofsome of the coins, which by order of Grovermnent were sent to Madraswhether there melted in the mint or reserved in the museum I knownot.The coins were doubtless all of well-known and ' edited ' types \a short description may, however, b& archseologically interesting. Ofthe 522, there were 134 bearing the head of Augustus with inscriptionCAES. AVGVSTVS. Divi. F. PATER. PATRIAE, on the reverse a trophy ofarms between two standing figures and legend C.L. CAESARIS.

AVGVSTAE another bore the head of;Claudius withDIVVS. CLAVDIVS. AVGVSTVS, on the reverse a chariot drawn by fourhorses abreast, with letters EX. s. c. There were two other types ofClaudius, one bearing on the reverse a female seated, the other a wreathenclosing letters and two coins of;Caligula bearing the emperor's head,on the reverse of one a head surrounded with rays. A single examplebore a head of Augustus with AVGVSTVS. DIVI. F. and on the reverseDiana carrying a spear, accompanied by a deer or hound, and legendIMP. x. Two remaining types were indistinct, one bearing a sort ofarch."In his Remarks on some IcficJ;/discovered Roman gold coins (1851),Captain Drury says: " A l2 most interesting discovery of a largebeen made in thequantity of ancient Koman gold coins has latelyneighbourhood of Cannanore on the Malabar coast, not only remarkablefor the numbers found (amounting to some hundreds) but also fortheir wonderful state of preservation. Many appear almost as fresh asonthe day they were struck the outline of the figuresis so sharp anddistinct, and the inscriptions so clear and legible. With very fewexceptions, they are all of gold, and of the age of Imperial Rome fromAugustus downwards, several of them being coeval with the earliestdays of the Christian era. From what we have been able to learn,regarding their first appearance,it seems that a few were brought intothe town of Calicut and offered for sale in the bazaar by some poornatives, who, naturally supposing from their shining appearance, thatthey were worth perhaps some trifle, gladly bartered them away for a10Madras Journal of Literature and Science, 1844, vol. xiii, p. 212.11Indian Antiquities, 1876, vol. v, p. 239, foot-note.12 Journ.
