Quite right Faustus it is, who is presumably "quinti filius pollia pollentia"* I'm afraid I dont read latin :wink: but the latin translator I use comes up with "the fifth son of race Pollia"....
*Refers to the text with the drawing from "Tracht und Bewaffnung des römischen Heeres während der Kaiserzeit" 1882
Heres a photo I took of him but I'm unclear as to whether or not its a copy of the original stone as it was a temporary exhibition...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
