Am I right in thinking that there is evidence for Jupiter Dolichenus up on the Wall?

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

Lots of it, including a dolichenum within the late fort at Vindolanda.

Thanks - it was the altar I had in mind. I blame the recent bump on the head ... :wink:
