More model informationThis is a small statue of Mars, god of war and the patron god of the Roman soldiers, found at Balmuildy. A closer look shows that the leg guards on the statue are decorated with gorgon heads, or mythical creatures with snakes instead of hair, perhaps designed to intimidate enemies and ward off evil spirits.
The Antonine Wall stretched right across Scotland, from the Clyde to the Forth. Constructed around 142 AD, and occupied for only 20 years, the remains of its ramparts, steep ditches, forts and bathhouses are still visible today.
