Abstract
The tablet was found in 1839 outside the walls of Roman York (Eboracum, Eburacum), on the southwest side of the river (at the site of the fourth- century A.D. bath house), when workers cut away an archway of the wall in the building of the Old Railway Station. York was a legionary fortress and colonia that became largely abandoned at the end of the fourth century. On the site, in general, Wellbeloved 1842; G. F. Wilmot, art. “Eboracum,” in R. Stillwell, ed., The Princeton Encyclopedia of Classical Sites (Princeton, 1976), p. 290f.
