Altar with inscription on the front.
Described in eboracum as 'Altar, of magnesian limestone, 4 and 1/2 ins by 10 ins by 5 and 1/2 ins; it is in good condition, but the lettering is shallow and weathered.... MAT(RIBVS) AF(RIS) ITA(LIS) GA(LLIS) M(ARCVS) MINV(CIVS) MVDE(NVS) MIL(ES) LEG(IONIS) VI VI(TRICIS) GVBER(NATOR LEG(IONIS) VI V(OTVM) S(OLVIT) L(AETVS) L(IBENS) M(ERITO) 'To the mother goddesses of Africa, Italy and Gaul, Marcus Minuciius Mudenus, soldier of the Sixth Legion Victorious, pilot of the Sixth Legion, paid his vow joyfully, willingly and deservedly' Mommsen's expansion of giber as gubernator would imply a river pilot, and the variety of the dedication is explained by the origins of the cargos handled. The repetition of the legion is in some form needed, since otherwise a civilian occupation might be supposed.'
