Abstract The reference to ‘victoriati’ in Bloomberg Wax Tablet 31 has been interpreted as a request for 52 Roman quinarii. This paper argues that quinarii were not available in significant enough quantities to make such a payment and that a more credible alternative is to see these ‘victoriati’ as a reference to local, Celtic coinage, specifically the silver issues of Epaticcus or Cunobelin. This identification, supported by recent metallurgic studies, alongside data from hoards, excavations and the Portable Antiquities Scheme, suggests a more prolonged use of Celtic coinage in Roman London than has previously been appreciated. Supplementary material is available online and provides data supporting the assertions made.

This study investigates the ceramic building materials (CBM) from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Roman Baths at Bath, UK. Ceramic building materials from much of Roman Britain are under-studied, yet our knowledge of the brick and tile from Bath is not limited solely by a paucity of research, but rather than by a lack of synthesis between academic, commercial work, and the study of the Roman Baths itself. This project aimed to create a unified understanding of Roman CBM in the Bath area, bringing together research in Bath and Gloucestershire with novel analyses of the Roman Baths assemblages to develop new understandings of production, procurement and use at the site, local and regional levels. This has been achieved through synthesis of previous studies in Bath, Gloucestershire and north-west Wiltshire to investigate diachronic supply of CBM to Roman Bath (particularly through the novel integration of finds of stamped and relief-patterned tiles) alongside a survey of the assemblages at the Roman Baths. The latter material was subjected to fabric and chemical analyses with portable energy-dispersive X-Ray fluorescence (pXRF) in order to suggest provenance. At the site level, two major phases of construction at the Roman Baths were found to be supplied by the Minety kiln site. This has enabled the redating of the construction of the Spring Reservoir Enclosure to the first century, substantially altering the developmental history of the Roman Baths. At the local and regional levels, it is clear that Minety supplied much of Bath and Cirencester, as well as more distant settlements. This unified picture therefore indicates that centralised production and routine long-distance transport was key to the supply and procurement of these novel building materials in the area of Bath.

本研究调查了英国巴斯罗马浴场这一联合国教科文组织世界文化遗产中的陶瓷建筑材料（CBM）。对罗马时期英国大部分地区的陶瓷建筑材料研究不足，但我们对巴斯砖瓦的了解并不仅仅受限于研究的匮乏，而是受限于学术、商业工作和罗马浴场本身研究之间缺乏综合。该项目旨在对巴斯地区的罗马煤层砖瓦有一个统一的认识，将巴斯和格洛斯特郡的研究与对罗马浴场集合物的新分析结合起来，对遗址、地方和区域层面的生产、采购和使用有一个新的认识。这项工作是通过综合之前在巴斯、格洛斯特郡和威尔特郡西北部进行的研究来实现的，在调查罗马浴场的集合材料的同时，还调查了罗马浴场煤层气的异时空供应情况（特别是通过新颖地整合冲压和浮雕图案瓦片的发现）。对后者的材料使用便携式能量色散 X 射线荧光（pXRF）进行了织物和化学分析，以确定来源。在遗址层面，发现罗马浴场的两个主要建筑阶段是由 Minety 窑址提供的。这使得泉水水库围墙的建造时间被重新确定为公元一世纪，从而大大改变了罗马浴场的发展历史。从地方和区域层面来看，Minety 显然为巴斯和塞伦塞斯特的大部分地区以及更遥远的定居点提供产品。因此，这种统一的情况表明，集中生产和常规长途运输是巴斯地区供应和采购这些新型建筑材料的关键。古德费洛

Abstract This paper addresses the archaeological contexts of the clay moulds used to produce copies of Roman coins in third-century Britain. Previous research has focused primarily upon the technology and chronology of the use of moulds to produce coins with the discarded remains of the used moulds considered as ‘waste’ items from an industrial process. This paper focuses attention on the deposition of the moulds. Using the best-recorded finds, it builds upon earlier suggestions that disused moulds were regularly discarded in boundary locations (settlement boundaries, field boundaries, drainage features, shafts/wells, coastal locations and disused structures). It proposes that the magical and ritual associations of production meant that the clay moulds, in addition to the coins that were produced, required careful handling.
