Ancient Roman guardian spirit discovered in Northumberland
A 1,600-year-old Roman sculpture depicting a guardian spirit has been discovered at Vindolanda in Northumberland. The well-preserved artifact, believed to represent a Roman protective deity called a Genius, was found beneath a Roman military building's floor. It holds symbolic items—a cornucopia and a patera—and offers new insights into the religious beliefs of Roman soldiers and their families during the late Roman period in Britain.
