^{page 25 note a} An engraving of this bucket, from a Daguerreotype, taken shortly after its discovery, is here given. Its near resemblance to the common milking-pail still in use will be remarked. The edges of the staves are connected by wooden pins. Mention of the situla, or bucket for the well, occurs in Plautus, and various other ancient writers. It could not have differed widely from those in use at the present day, for the art of making wooden vessels, with staves and hoops, was known in the time of Pliny, who says, “Magno et collecto jam vino differentia in cella. Circa Alpes ligneis vasis condunt, circulisque cingunt.” Hist. Nat. lib. xiv. c. 21. Pignorius, De Servis, p. 266, edit. 1656, gives us a representation of an ancient sculpture in marble, dug up at Augsburg in 1601, on which are seen the Vinitores stowing away casks formed like those used by the moderns. It may be sufficient, however, to cite the examples of hooped vessels in the sculptures of the Trajan and the Antonine columns, or the.marble of Gruter, p. 818, No. 5.

^{page 27 note b} The bottom, says Stukeley, contained “the purest garden mold; and in that the corpse or skeleton of a woman, the skull of which I had in my hand, and well knew to be a female.” Paleographia Britannica, part ii. p. 9.—How much it is to be regretted that this place was not explored by competent persons, and that an account of its then state was not drawn up by an antiquary less visionary than Stukeley.

^{page 28 note a} That this vault was a tomb of the Roman period I think there can be no doubt, to whatever use it may have been converted in the middle ages. That it may have been used and tenanted by some recluse at a much later period, is very probable. The two niches would suggest the form of the recess for the Piscina, and it will be seen that a cross has been carved above one of them. Their identity however with the niches in the tombs cut in the rock of the mountain called Bingemma, is very apparent, as may be observed by reference to plate CCLXIII. figs. 1 and 2, in The Voyage Pittoresque en Sicile, etc.

^{page 28 note c} This is a proof that these pits were objects of interest to the antiquaries of the days of Camden, while our ignorance of their present state is a reproach to us. In the Transactions of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, vol. iii. p. 17, is an account, with views and plans, of some chambers at Baden, supposed to have been used by the Secret Tribunals of Germany, but which appear to be Roman, and of sepulchral origin, to whatever purposes they may have been afterwards applied in the middle ages.
