Description
[This photo is a little blurred, due to the low lighting and no tripod - I'll go back and retake it shortly.] This scratched-on figure of a horned god was found at Vindolanda Fort and is said to have been associated with fertility in pre-Roman Europe. "Several of these figures have been found as statues and graffiti on stones, suggesting that older religious beliefs were continuing alongside Roman practices." Submitted with the kind permission of the Great North Museum.
