ROMANO-BRITISH LONDON St. Thomas' Street, Southwark (Plan D, ii). — Tessellated pavement found at the corner of High Street, 26 July, 18 19, at a depth of 10 ft. [Brock's map]. Fragment of Lezoux pottery in British Museum ; also an iron sickle, found 1844 [Cat. Lond. Antiq. 72, No. 320]. Southwark Bridge. — Fragments of Lezoux and German ware in British Museum, with stamps of Atilianus and Sabinianus (not certainly from this side of the river). Southwark Street (Plan D, 30, 31). — In excavating for the formation of this street in 1862 numerous remains came to light, including fragments of tessellated pavements and wall- paintings, lamps, glass, and Gaulish pottery, among the latter a cup inscribed mater ni, and figured ware Lond. and M'ldd. Arch. Soc. Trans, ii, 84]. In 1866 large quantities of pottery were found on the south side of the street near Castle Street (Plan D, 31), also part of a pile. 'In a space of about 100 ft. by 40ft., 16 pits had been sunk, each disclosing Roman pottery above a number of piles and puddled clay, and when this was removed, shells, pebbles, and refuse such as is always seen along the water's edge, although the spot in question is now full 300 yards from the Thames shore. A seventeenth pit was the only one in which no piles were found.' The piles were 7 to 1 1 ft. in length, the heads about twelve feet below the street level ; they were thought at the time by Mr. Syer Cuming to indicate remains of ' lake dwellings,' but others cast doubts on their antiquity.*' On the opposite side of the street a pavement of red tesserae and remains of Roman pottery were found [yourn. Brit. Arch. Assoc, xxii, 445 fF. ; xxiii, 87 ; Lond. and Midd. Arch. Soc. Trans, iii, 213]. In 1873 a glass melting-pot, with fragments of glass, was discovered, perhaps indicating the site of a manufactory of that material [ibid, xxxiv, 254]. In 1899 Roman pottery (Gaulish and Upchurch) and specimens of leather shoes studded with copper nails were exhibited to the Archaeological Association, together with coins of M. Agrippa, Claudius, and Nero, a bone needle, and glass bottles. These were found 'on the site of a pile dwelling' at 14 ft. below the surface [? on the site of the 1866 finds] ^ourn. Brit. Arch. Assoc, (new ser.), v, 93]. Plain vase in Guildhall [Cat. 406]. Stoney Lane. — See Pickle Herring Stairs. Stoney Street, Southwark (Plan D, 37). — On the west of the Borough Market, where the S.E. Railway now runs, some interesting finds were made in March, 1865 : (i) an iron knife with a face carved on the hilt ; (2) an iron trident *' a foot long, the central prong being longer than the others, and spear-shaped, with a crescent-shaped bar below the head, apparently the fuscina of a retiarius ; (3) a two-handled jar full of fine sand ; (4) a guttus or flask of fine clay with silvery-grey glazed surface, and elegant ornamentation, which appears to be of early ist-century date, from the fabric of St. R^my-en-Rollat in Central Gaul [cf Di^chelette, Vases ornis de Gaule, i, 41 if.]. The trident is now in the Guildhall [Cat. 263] ; the other objects have also been thought to have been used by gladiators, hestiarii, or athletes [yourn. Brit. Arch. Assoc, xxiv, 309 ; see also xxii, 305, 312]. A hooked implement, described as a key for a child's hoop, was also found [ibid, xxix, 70]. Where this street now joins High Street (formerly Compter Street), Brock's map marks the discovery of red stucco and a coin of Alexander Severus (Plan D, 29). Tabard Street (formerly Kent Street) (Plan D, 17). — Roman pottery was found in 1886 [yourn. Brit. Arch. Assoc, xlv, 81], and miscellaneous antiquities in 1890 [ibid, xlvi, 313]. The latter included coins ranging from Tiberius to Constantine (chiefly of earlier emperors), beads, fish-hooks, knives, keys, and buckles, and Gaulish pottery, with the following stamps ? SECVNDVS • F, of • MO [mMONIs], of • SEVERI, O • MOM, VNIO, VTEMO, OF " MCCA, * F " MCCI, REGINI • M (German), habilis • F, PEii • vsi, abii (?). [The first four are Rutenian, of about a.d. 40-70]. A fragment in British Museum with stamp of Vaxtius ; an olla in Bethnal Green Museum. TooLEY Street, Southwark (Plan D, 3). — In 1833 a mortarium was found with stamp albini, also fragments of Gaulish pottery, one being part of a ist-century bowl of form 27, and four coins (dates not given) [Gent. Mag. 1833, i, 482 ; ii, 194]. Roman pottery, lamps, a bronze key, and other objects exhibited to the Society of Antiquaries in January, 1834, as found ' in the parish of St. Olave near the foot of London Bridge ' [Arch, xxv, 620], are probably from the same site, if not from the same find. They included a bowl of ornamented Gaulish ware with designs in panels, representing dogs following hares (a ist-century Rutenian bowl of form 29, with potter's stamp OF mvrra[ni]). Trinity Square, Newington (Plan D, 20). — Two pieces of Roman pottery were found at the building of Trinity Church in 1825, one described as 'of very peculiar form,' afterwards in Mr. Gwilt's possession, the other as about four feet high, also other fragments of ' a light sort of stone ware.' The site is supposed to be mentioned by Bagford in a letter to Hearne as one where a number of Roman remains had been found [Gent. Mag. (1825), ii, 633].
