Memorial to a Roman Standard Bearer,Hexham Abbey

3D ModelNoAI

Sandstone memorial to a Roman Standard Bearer found in the porch foundations outside the south transept of Hexham Abbey, Northumberland, UK. The stone probably came from military cemetery outside the fort at nearby Corbridge where the cavalry regiment Petriana were based from AD79. The ommission of the honorary title C.R. which was first known to be applied to the Regiment from AD98 suggests this memorial falls within the date range AD79-AD98.

Inscription: Dis Manibus Flavinus eq(ues) alae Petr(ianae) signifer tur(ma) Candidi an(norum) XXV stip(endiorum) VII h(ic) s(itus) (est)

Translation:: To the spirits of the departed: Flavinus, trooper of the cavalry regiment Petriana, standard-bearer, from the troop of Candidus, aged 25, of 7 years’ service

I did not obtain enough overlapping photo coverage of the full monument to be able to rebuild it all in 3D, hence most of the inscription is missing from the model.
