Altars

Altars
These two altars were found in the River Tyne where the Roman bridge (Pons Aelius) crossed the river.Both are thinner than most altars because they came from a shrine on the bridge itself. One is dedicated to the river god Neptune and shows his trident, the other is to the sea god Oceanus and shows an anchor. Both altars were dedicated to the sixth legion.

Great North Museum, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England.
