months, and eight days: and Marcus Julius Maximus her son; he lived six years, three months and twenty days: and Campania Dubitata her mother; she lived fifty years. Julius Maximus, a sigularis consularis of the Polish cavalry, the husband of an incomparable wife, and to a son most dutiful to his father and to a mother-in-law of very dear memory, has placed this." The number of miscellaneous Roman articles which have been found at Ribchester is considerable. In 1884, just outside one of the gateways leading to the camp, a massive gold brooch was found; its weight is 373 grains, and it is in the shape of a harp, measuring 2 inches in length. Roman brooches of gold are very rarely met with. In making graves in the churchyard from time to time small articles have been found; and in the Vicarage garden, almost every time the soil is turned, fragments of Samian pottery, etc., are brought to light. These various _finds_ have, perhaps, given rise to the local tradition that: It is written upon a wall in Rome: Ribchester is as rich as any town in Christendom. But much of old Ribchester is lost through the shifting of the bed of the river, which formed one side of the _castrum_. From Ribchester issued five roads: (i.) To Yorkshire through Chadburn; (ii.) to Manchester; (iii.) to Morecambe Bay through the Fylde; (iv.) to Lancaster, joining the main road at Galgate; (v.) to Westmorland _viâ_ Overborough. The road to Yorkshire passed through Langho, crossed the Calder near a place called "Potter's Ford," and leaving Clitheroe on the east, went over the rising ground to Chadburn and over the Yorkshire border to Skipton. Roman coins have been found at Langho,[29] and also the remains of a rectangular building 70 feet square, which is believed to have been a small camp; its site is still known as "Castle Holme."[30] Between Chadburn and Worsthorne, in 1788, nearly 1,000 silver _denarii_ of the Higher Empire were found in an urn dug up by some workmen.[31] The road through the Fylde district was no doubt made to connect Ribchester with the Portus Sestantiorum (the Haven of the Sestantii), the exact site of which has never been satisfactorily proved, but it was probably near the mouth of the Wyre. The agger is only traceable along bits of the route from Ribchester, but it appears at "Stubbin Nook," and, after passing Pedder House, becomes identical with what is still called Watling Street; it then crosses Fulwood Moor near Preston, and goes on to Kirkham, Marton Mere, and Poulton-le-Fylde. The late John Just, in 1850, made a careful survey of that portion of the road; he thus describes it: "Within a mile of the town of Poulton are seen the first indications of a Roman road.... But having got on to the high ground and to a part of the flats of the Fylde district we meet with striking remains of a road on the turfy ground where it has been piled up in an immense agger.... Across this the line is very distinct....
