Horsley thought that, like some other inscriptions in the Naworth Collection, this altar also had come from Birdoswald.

Altar of CastlesteadsRIB

The New Mithraeum

1 Nov 2023

Ara litteris evanidis. From Birdoswald.

D(eo) S(oli) / invicto / N(abarze?) pesm/cus Licinii / Ripanus praef(ectus) v(otum) s(olvit).

There seem to be three praefericula upon the top of the capital which is very singular (Horsley).

De[o] Soli / [Invi]cto / M[ith]r[a]e M[ar]/cus Liciniu[s] / Ripanus / praef(ectus) v(otum) s(olvit) [l(ibens) m(erito)]

De[o] Soli / [Invi]cto / M[ith]r[a]e M[ar]/cus Liciniu[s] / Ripanus praef[ectus] v[otum] s[olvit].

To the Invincible Sun-god Mithras, Marcus Licinius Ripanus, prefect, willingly and deservedly fulfilled his vow.

CIL VII 831; MMM II No. 489.
