Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Minerva's Shrine, Edgar's Field, Handbridge This is the only rock cut roman shrine remaining in situ in the UK. The shrine is carved in low relief into the cliff of an old roman quarry. It is 4 feet 9 inches tall and 2 feet 6 inches wide. Minerva is shown holding a spear in her right hand and owl above her right shoulder, which is said to represent wisdom. Minerva is the roman goddess of soldiers, knowledge, and wisdom. In Roman times an offering was placed here to provide protection during the crossing of the river Dee at the ford. |
