Notes: "To the Most Noble Prince Frederick, the destined Royal Heir, Great Britain's hope, Delight, and most yearned for Spirit, son of the Most High George and grandson of the Most August George, William Musgrave, Fellow (?) of Exeter College, Oxford, of his own will and in Obedience to his Oath wished these here Penates, hidden by the Earth for 1500 years, to be dedicated.

"These Penates [found] by William Cadby, Gardener at Devizes, engraved on Brass and printed on Imperial Paper, are available for sale at the Booksellers Knapton in London, Clements in Oxford, and Yeo in Exeter. 1717."

Musgrave's 1st illustration of the Southbroom Hoard discovered outside Devizes, Wiltshire, in 1714. The statues of Venus and Vulcan are now lost. The others are held by the British Museum as figures 1811,0309. The statue identified by Musgrave as possibly Jupiter Amun is now considered to represent a Romano-British or Gallo-Roman version of Mars, Jupiter Dolichenus, or Mithras the Rockborn. The statue identified as Neptune has sometimes been considered to represent Jupiter. The statue identified as Hercules is now considered to represent a Romano-British or Gallo-Roman version of Mars from his raven helmet, pose, and attribute of the two horned snakes. (Musgrave's illustration does not include the small bumps on the actual figure.)
