Building inscription of the 20th legion. 'The insciption reads A detachment of the Twentieth Legion, styled Valeria and Victorious, made this'. Mars, the God of War, on the left and Hercules on the right. The boar between them is the symbol of the legion. Mars is dressed in full armour, bearing a spear and shield. Hercules is represented as fully grown and bearded with massive muscular frame. He carries a club and a quiver full of arrows with a lion skin on his shoulders. They are soldiers', not 'artists' sculptures
