About thirty years ago was discovered near Morton, one of the most valuable deposits of Roman Coins, ever turned up in Britain. It consisted of a very large quantity of Denarii in excellent preservation; for the most part of Septimus Severus, Julia Domna, Caracalla, and Geta, contained in the remains of a brass chest, which had probably been the military chest of a Roman legion, and deposited, upon some sudden alarm, in a situation which it had quietly occupied during a period of almost sixteen centuries. --Whitaker's Craven."
