Grew, Musaeum Regalis (1685)

A ROMAN MONEY-POT. Given (with the Coin below mention'd) by the same Hand John Aubrey. Found in the Year, 1651. in In Week-Field, in the Parish of Hedington, in Wiltshire; half full of Roman Coin, Silver and Copper, of several Emperors near the time of Constantine. Of the colour of a Crucible, and fashion'd almost like a Pint Jug without a Neck. Closed at the top, and having a Notch on one side, as in a Christmas-Box. In the same place (where anciently was a Roman Colony) and at the same time, were dig'd up the Foundations of several Houses for a Mile together.
