Description
This Roman altar is recorded on the Future Museum website as Altar to Harimella. Also found at Birrens Roman fort, "this is the only record of the Roman goddess Harimella. The altar was erected by Gamidiahus, a German architect". Dated to the 2nd century AD, the Roman Inscriptions of Britain website tells us the translation of the inscription reads: “Sacred to the goddess Harimella: Gamidiahus, the engineer, gladly, willingly and deservedly fulfilled his vow”. No Museum Accession number given.
