Graveyard of Twentieth Legion
Exhumed at Chester, Eng.
Bronze Coins of the Emperors An
tonius, Plur and commodus
Are Found With the
Remains.

London.-The extension Of the In
Urinary at Chester has led to the dis
covery Of the graveyard used by the
twentieth legion Of the Romans during
their occupation of that city.
The Chester infirmary occupies a
site which is locally referred to as
the plague field" The site seems to
have acquired its unsavory name from
the fact that casual discoveries of hui
man remains had led to the suppose
ton that they were the victims OF
the great plague.
The recent unearthing Of remains In
larger numbers on the site OF the ex-
tension of the infirmary led to an in
vestigation by Prof. Robert Newstead.
who nov reports that the evidence
proves conclusively that the infrmary
field was not used as a burying ground
during the outbreak Of the plague, and
that all the burials which have been
so far unearthed belong to the Ro-
mar period.
Four distinct types Of graves have
been uncovered. One is a tomb formed
Of local sandstone, evidently repre-
senting a burial of some Importance,
as the walls Of the tomb are covered
in plaster, and the dome Of the struc-
ture originally stood out In marked
contrast to the surrounding surface of
the land, forming a distinct tumulus.
Some OF the graves were formed by
placing Roman roofing tiles bearing
the stamp OF the twentieth legion upon
the floor and also at the sides. the
legionary stamps always facing In
ward.
Another type OF burial was formed
by placing rough hewn sandstone so
that a v.shaped trough was formed
for the reception Of the body. A
fourth type of grave consists OF a sim
pie trench, dug in the solid clay at a
depth Of not more than two feet from
the original land surface.
/, The Roman origin OF the graves is
borne out by the fact that bronze
coins OF the Emperors Antonius, Plus
and Commodus have been found In
them. Such coins were placed usual
" in the mouth of the deceased, and
are generally referred to as "Charon's
passage fare" to expedite the passage
OF the soul across the Styx. as 1t was
believed that the person who had not
received the usual rites Of burial and
