inside on the bottom. These must have belonged to the carinated type, and were rare. A few fragments of decorated bowls showed 'a stamp on the exterior, sometimes among the decoration. The name of the potter is frequently followed by F or FEC for fecit in which case the name is in the nominative, or by M for manu, in which case it is in the genitive, or preceded (or followed) by the letters OF for officina, which again requires the genitive. In almost every instance where OF or OFFICINA precedes, we can say that the potter belonged to the first occupation—Rufinus, Vitalis, Frontinus, Sabinus, Masculus, etc. A complete list of the stamps is appended to this chapter; they are reproduced in facsimile and treated in some detail.

The great majority of the stamps occurred only on undecorated ware. The names most frequently met with were AVITVS CINNAMVS and VITALIS, the first of these occurred seven times, the second five times. OFVITA, the stamp of Vitalis, was found six times. BELINICVS and MARCELLVS each occurred three time. A considerable number were found twice. ATTIANVS, AVENTINVS, CINNAMVS, DIVIXTVS, FRONTINVS, and RVFINVS appear on decorated ware. The following stamps can with certainty be attributed to the first century: FRONTINI, OF·SAB, OF·VITA, and the incomplete stamp SILV—all from the ditch of the early fort; DAGO, OF·COTTO, and OF·IVCVN—from Pit LIV; CRVC (doubtless CRVCVRO), from Pit LXI; O·FIRMON, SABINVS F and OF·MASCVLI, from Pit LXXVI; and CRISPI·M and O·SEVERI, from Pit LXXVIII.

To these we may add COSIRV, COCCIL·M, IVLLINI, OF·RVFINI, SECVNDI·OF.

The following may be classed as belonging to the second century: ADVOCISI·O, AVENTINI·M, AVITVS, BANOLVCCI, BELINICI·M, BITVNVS, BORILLI·OF, CARATILLI, CARVSSA, CASSIVS, CESORINI, CINNAMVS, CRACVNA, DIVICATVS, DIVIX·F, DRAVCI, FIRMVS·F, GEMINI·M, IASSVS, MACRINVS, MALLEDO·F, MARCELLI·M, METTI·M, MICCIO·F, PATER·F, PECVLIAR·F, PROBVS·F, QVINTI·M, REGALIS·F, REGINI·M RVFFI·MA, SECVNDINVS, SENILA·M, SEVERVS, SVOBNI·M, TITTIVS·F, VEGETI·M.

The most important of the makers of decorated ware would appear to have been CINNAMVS. His name occurs not only on bowls of the large
