Summary

[edit]
Description This inscription was found at the fort of Moresby, near the east gate, above which it probably stood. The title "pater patriae" - Father of the Country? that Hadrian took in AD 128 dates the inscription between that year and the end of his reign. The Moresby fort was part of the defensive system that extended Hadrian's Wall down to the west coast of Cumbria. The inscription may be translated: (This work ) of the Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, father of his country, the Twentieth Legion Valeria Victrix (built).
