Pottery from Italy and the Rhine. The yield of imported pottery has been of even greater ardineological value. From time to time piece of the Arretine pottery of Italy and the early red and black wares of Roman Gaul and the Rhine have heen found on curtain sites ip southern Britain, notably at Sil cheater, but the prevalent opinion hug been that Ruch importatione during the century preceding the Roman Conquest must have been rare, and the market confined to a wealthy minority. Here, however, the glazed cups, bowls, and platters of Arretium have been found in every British hut, along with quan titics of every Western provincial ware in use from Augustus's time to Claudius. Clearly Italian and Gaulish manufacturers exported goods to Celtic Britain on a large scale, and for the use of all classes. Bronze objects tell to some extit the same story, and pre-Conquest Koman and Gaulish coins found along with the mintage of Cuno belinus himself help to attest th volume of transmarine trade, Here, at least the "Romanization of Roman Britain was. at work in.think you should send round to the. inaterial culture. long before the chemist and jay Mrs. Arnishaw must have no more of theso tablota! actual military conquest.
