Abstract: | In 2009, two large alters were excavated side by side in the north-west quadrant of the third-century stone fort at Vindolanda, evidently inside a temple. A third, smaller altar was found just outside the temple. The relief on the main altar is a notable addition to the inscriptions and images of the Dolichenus cult in Britain. This article deals first with the excavation, then the alters, gives a brief account of the cult in general, with particular reference to Britain, and finally offers some reflections on the two cohorts. | ||
