28 Thanks are due to Paul Robinson, F. S. A., of Devizes Museum, who first noted the discovery of the head, to the late Professor Jocelyn Toynbee, F. S. A., who offered some preliminary comments, to Martin Henig, F. S. A., who made the connection between the publication of the Margate piece and the Cirencester example, and to the finder and owner of the head in whose private possession it remains. A summary archive is held at the Corinium Museum, Cirencester. Nick Griffiths very kindly and at short notice provided the illustration.
