Roman altars from Scotland
The drawing shows a stone carved in relief with the figures of three Roman soldiers with shields and spears. Skinner (see Bibliography) thought they represented the Emperor Severus (d. 211 AD in York) and his two sons Caracalla and Geta. The stone was found built into the walls of a farmhouse called Nether Croy, at Croy, near Kylsyth, North Lanarkshire.
