The Temple of Nodens in Lydney Park

Abstract

PROF. RHŶS' interesting review on Mr. King's volume in NATURE, vol. xx. p. 285, has been recalled to mind by the notice of the same quarto in Saturday's Athenæum (September 27); and I would remind those interested of the occurrence of a somewhat analogous relic of ancient rites in the pavement of the primaeval fane on the island of Gozo; which relic vi as first (I believe) noticed by myself in the pages of the Athenæum in November, 1872. A fuller account, with diagrams of the pavement, appeared subsequently in the Journal of the Anthropological Institute, vol. iv. (Plate vi.) in a paper on the “Nonhistoric Stone Relics of the Mediterranean.”
