Abstract:		 Two Roman antefixes of apparently unique design were recovered from the fortress bath house site in Chester during excavations at the junction of Newgate and Pepper Street in 1963--4. One is almost complete and depicts the head of Jupiter Ammon; the other comprises a small fragment depicting a lion's head or mask. Together, they represent examples of a distinct group of antefixes that have been retrieved from a handful of sites within the city. None have been recovered from the legionary works depot at Holt, which produced ceramic building materials for the fortress from the late-first century AD. In comparing them with the more common inscribed antefixes of the Twentieth Legion, which are known from both Chester and Holt (where they were made), a number of questions concerning their distribution, dating and possible origin are considered.
