| Abstract: | In 1958 there were discovered at Corbridge six fragments of a coarse vessel bearing in relief the applique figure of a Smith God. This find adds an important item to the group of similar figures already known from that site, which were found during the excavations of 1906-14, and published individually in the appropriate reports. In this paper I propose to consider this group as a whole, and to collect and discuss the rest of the evidence, archaeological, epigraphic and literary, for the worship of an indigenous Smith God by the Britons under the Roman occupation. | ||
