| Popis: | Transactions of the Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society, 11, 137-148 Five of the twenty-five Roman cavalryman's memorials found in Britain of the type known as Reiter stones come from Cumbria. Three of these have had no published illustrations other than engravings in 1875. This paper presents up-to-date photographs of the three with comments on the differences between the engravings and the actual stones. In introducing these, some consideration is given to the type as a whole. A reconstruction drawing is offered of the figure on one stone, which survives only partially, and the significance of the three sculptures for the nature of the garrison of the fort at Kirkby Thore is considered. |
