Savings Banks of Roman ob,,ar.n

The children OF the Romans used to
put their pennies into savings banks
just as the children of the Yankees do
to-day. In 1886, when Professor
Thomas Wilson, of the Smithsonian
Institution, was wandering about Os-
tia, the seaport of ancient Rome, he
found a group of peasants e~xcavating.
They had dug out of the sand a num-
Der Of pots and jars that had been
buried for ages, and one of them had
found a child's saving bank which
contained It's silver ccips issued by
the emperors of Rome between the
years 200 and 10 B. @. As none of
the later date were found, it is to be
assumed that some child lost this
bank shortly before our era, and it
was covered for nineteen centuries by
the encroaching sand.
The little savings bank was almost
perfect when it was uncovered, but the
peasant who found it broke it open to
get the coins within. Professor Will
son found most of the pieces, how
ever, and has been able to put it to-
gether. 1t consists OF u single piece
of pottery about three inches wide,
with a slit in the top through which
the money was dropped.-Chicago
