A HISTORY OF LONDON ornh de la Gaule romaine (1904). To state these results concisely, it has been observed that forms 29, 30, and 37 (see Fig. 31), are used almost exclusively for the ornamented vases; of these form 29 occurs chiefly at La Graufesenque (a.d. 40-70), form 30 both at La Graufesenque and Lezoux (a.d. 50-90), and form 37 in the latter years of the former pottery (a.d. 70-ico), and at Lezoux, from a.d. 70, down to a.d. 180. The plain wares with potters' stamps are nearly all of forms 18, 27, 31 and 33 (see Fig. 31). Of these, forms 18 and 27 mostly bear the stamps of potters whose moulds have been found at La Graufesenque ; forms 31 and 33 those of potters associated with Lezoux; while forms 31 and 33 are the favourite shapes with the Rheinzabern potters. Of the red ware with slip decoration there are two main varieties : (i) large jars (Dcchelette's form 72) with figures and ornamentation, of which Fig. 33, no. 72, from Cornhill is a fine example ; (2), shallow bowls with leaf-patterns on the rim ; these are rarely found before the second century. Of the methods of decoration employed on the ornamented vases it is impossible to speak in detail here, except to note that at La Graufesenque there is a preference for narrow scrolls of foliage and small panels of ornament, in two friezes; at Lezoux, for large panels with figures, or for hunting and other scenes in what is known as the ' free ' style. Examples of these methods may be seen on the vases shown in Fig. 33 from various London sites. List of Roman Emperors to Honorius It is hoped that the subjoined list of Roman Emperors will not only be found useful, but will obviate the necessity of inserting dates throughout the following topographical account : — 265-8.
