204 was adjacent to Moesia the troops under the leadership of Cosinius Felix — according to the hitherto mentioned reasons — were the followers of Trebonianus Gallus, it is very probably that in the sake of not being attacked from the back, he sent troops to Pannónia inferior. As a possibility we undoubtedly have to mention an inscription found in Budapest near the Gellértspa, in which text such an expedition is described. See A. Alföldi, Num. Közi. 25, 1926, p. 88 ; Pannónia 1935, pp. 280 sqq ; An. Ep. 1935, Nr. 164 ; R. Egger, Serta Hoffilleriana 1940, pp. 219 sqq. The inscribed stone was erected by Clodius Celsinus, and the description of the martial deed carried out by him is as follows : »tempere qui ad eredendum nomen saevissimae dominationis missus . . . vultus h/ostium publicorum/ de vexillis et can/tabris/utro detra/here no]lent, /suctores im/prosperi conatus /coercebat/ . . .« As a possibility we have to mention that the expedition of Clodius Celsinus in 253 was directed against the legions of Lower Pannónia that were faithful to Trebonianus Gallus. The expression »saevissinae dominationis« allows to conclude that here is the question of rather two emperors who reigned for a long time and were accepted by the senate, than of two usurpers who played the despot for a short time. Clodius Celsinus the follower of Aemilianus might have this idea about the reign of Trebonianus Gallus and Volusianu^. On the other hand the spirit of the whole inscription indicates that the stone was erected on the spot of the martial deed by the erector and not when returning to his garrison remembering his heroic deed of Viminacium. As a possibility we have to mention an expedition starting from Moesia in the spring or in the summer of 253, winch duty was 1o protec^ the rear of the emperor Aemilianus who was matching towards Italy. All the more as farther westwards in Noricum and in Raetia the subsequent emperor Valerianus was the governor who was the follower of Trebonianus Gallus. He arrived too late to help Gallus in Italy, but was strong enough to defeat Aemilianus and got himself accepted as emperor. But before that, as a consequence of one of Aemilianus' expeditions in 253 the silver bust of Trebonianus Gallus was torn off from the military insigna of the legion and got into unauthorised hands. Maria R. Alföldi: Roman Jewelry of -Rábakovácsi In the course of the regulation of the river Rába in 1953 a Roman treasure was found near the village of Rábakovácsi (County Vas) which originally had been laying in the soil, wrapped in some kind of decaying material, e. g. in a cloth. The farther environments of the site were fairly densely inhabited in the Roman times. * The treasure consisted of three framed aureus (Valerianus pater RIC V/l, 34., 149.; Valerianus junior RIC V/l, 11.), of two amphora-shaped slides, made of gold plate, of fragments of a chain made of Hercules-knots and emerald prisms as well as of a clasp belonging to the chain. The fragment of a plain gold chain and a bit of a hexagonal prismatic tube found together with the former jewelry probably did not belong to the rather decorative chain (Pl. XVI. 1. restored

: Pl. XVI. 2.). Besides several other problems the most interesting is the question of the open-work frames, or in a wider sense that of the Roman opus interrasile. The treasure can be dated very well (the coins were struck in 254 and 256, while the cause of hiding must have been a
