Hunterian Museum

This distance slab, accession no. GLAHM:F.1969.22, is labelled "Director's Choice" in the museum. Found near Hutcheson Hill, West Dunbartonshire and recorded as Canmore 44548, the museum information sign reads: "This stone shows elaborate Roman architecture, perhaps a triumphal archway, punctuating the inscription. In the central scene a female, possibly Britannia, gives a miniature laurel wreath to the eagle on top of the legionary standard held by a soldier. On either side are bound and naked captives down on one knee and beneath is the boar emblem of the Twentieth Legion. All of this imagery celebrates Roman victory over foreign barbarians."
