Extract

The person who communicated this inscription to the Society a few years ago, informed us that it was found about Corbridge, in Northumberland, near the wall; where, as there were many Roman legions, particularly the Legio Secunda Augusta, and Vicesima Victrix ordered thither, the first from Isca Silurum, the other from Deva, or Chester, in order to keep the wall in repair, and defend it.
