Not illustrated. 1900 Excerpt: ...tombstone, 23 inches high by 32 inches wide. Found in the North Wall (Fast) in 1887. D.M--M. Cluvi M. Aniensis) Valentius Foro luli... "To the memory of Marcus Cluvius Valentius, son of Marcus, of the Aniensis tribe, from Forum Iulii..". Forum Iulii was a Roman Colonia on the south-east coast of Gaul, now Frejus. A Roman fleet was stationed there, and Cluvius may have been a sailor in it who passed into the Legio II Adiutrix (p. 9). But he may, quite as probably, have been a Gaulish recruit of the Twentieth Legion, like Nos. 39 and 46. It is not clear whether Cluvi is short for Cluvius; or whether it has been accidentally put in the genitive, while the cognomen Valentius is in the nominative. F for filius is left out after M(arci) as in Nos. 24, 46. Eph. vii. 892. 71.--Top of a tombstone, 28 inches high and wide, shewing a bearded-head in relief 13 inches kigh, with a small erect figure--perhaps of a slave--19 inches high to right; there was doubtless a similar figure on the other (left) side, but that is broken. Below, in a panel, is the commencement of the inscription. Found in the North Wall (West) in September 1891. See the Plates. D.M.--Q. Cornelius "To the memory of Quintus Cornelius.." Athenaeum 3376. 72. Top of a tombstone, 28 inches high and wide: the stone was apparently gableshaped with a round-headline above, in which are incised a rosette and two crescent moons. Within the headline are faint traces of the commencement of an inscription. Found in the North Wall (West) in October 1891. See the annexed cut. Q. Cornelius (?./.... "Quintus Cornelius, son of Quintus...." Athenaeum 3376-73.-Broken top of a tombstone, once ending in a gable, with some circular patterns incised above the inscription, 30 inches by 32. Found
