Sander, thanks for the comment. I was wondering about that inscription myself. Linda Malcor is using this piece as evidence for wide-ranging Sarmatian influence along the west of Hadrian's Wall. She asserts this was a large body (5000+) of troops which, as nomadic elite cavalry army not settled in any forts apart from Bremettanacum, need not (she asserts) be mentioned by any Roman source. (..) I have to reign her in quite often.<br>

Caius, where do you think he bought his stuff? From 'antique dealers'? Or am I possibly right in thinking this it comes from 'private digs'..<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
