" ' 21 . If any member shall during the banquet say anything reviling or insulting to the master , he shall be fined twenty sestertii . '

'" 22 . Also it is determined , that the master for the time being shall on the solemn days supplicate with wine and perform the other offices in white garments ,

and both on the day of Diana and of Antinous shall place oil in the public bath for the use of the college before the members go to the banquet . '

" Such were the regulations of the private colleges of the Romans , and so thoroughly were these colleges a part of Roman society , that I may say they adhered to them like a garment . " No sooner was the Roman conquest of Britain begun , and a modicum of territory obtained , than we find a collegium in our own civitas

Megnorum—a collegium fabrorum . And this was while Claudius was still emperor . The colleges of course multiplied and spread throughout our island , remaining during the whole of the imperial rule , and surviving with our provincial ancestors the various barbarian conquests . " *
