Context (Analysis)
Collingwood and Wright translation of inscription reads: 'Sacred to the goddess Rome. The duplicarii of the unit of Scouts of Bremenium set up this altar on her birthday under the charge of Caepio Charitinus, tribune, willingly and deservedly fulfilling their vows.' See Collingwood and Wright for transcription.
