Abstract

In September 1825 two Roman inscribed and sculptured stones were recorded at Auchendavy fort on the Antonine Wall in Central Scotland by the Revd John Skinner, an Anglican clergyman, in the course of a walk along the Roman frontier between Forth and Clyde. The publication in 2003 of Skinner's journal of his walk, illustrated with his own watercolour sketches, has allowed a better understanding of both stones, which are long since lost. One may be a dedication by soldiers in garrison at Auchendavy to a group of Roman deities, and the other a representation of a local Romano-Celtic god.
