Altar with a Latin inscription built into Orchard Farm, Corbridge, still in situ.

Dedicated to the holy god Silvanus by the soldiers from a detachment (vexillatio) of the Second Augustan Legion and the association (collegium) of the Silvanists (Silvaniani), who willingly and freely erected this altar from their own resources.
