A sculpture of a Roman Genius holding a cornucopia and a patera has been unearthed at the ancient fort of Vindolanda just south of Hadrians Wall in Northumberland. It was found face-down under the floor of a 4th century barracks building.The carving is a relief on sandstone 17 inches high, nine inches wide and three inches deep. It depicts a Genius, or protective spirit, holding acornucopia in one hand and a patera, a shallow dish used to pour out ritual offerings, in the other. It was likely carved by a local artists, either at the Vindolanda fort itself, or at one of the sculpture workshops in the area, such as the one at the Roman fort of Lanchester in County Durham.In traditional roman religion, the Genius was a guardian spirit that brought prosperity, safety and good luck to a home or other place. Archaeologists believe the sculpture was originally part of a domestic shrine, and so predates the 4th century barracks. It was reused later as building material during construction, placed face-down with the gently curved back acting as a flagstone.While inscriptions dedicated to aGeniusare relatively common across Roman Britain, reflecting the widespread worship of these protective spirits, surviving carved stone reliefs are comparatively rare. The Vindolanda discovery therefore represents an important addition to the corpus of Romano-British sculpture, providing a rare opportunity to study both the iconography of a Genius and its archaeological context. []Buried beneath the floor of a fourth-century barrack block for more than sixteen centuries, the relief offers fresh insight into the religious beliefs of the soldiers and families who lived at Vindolanda during the closing centuries of Roman Britain. Its exceptional state of preservation and secure archaeological context make it one of the most significant religious stone carvings to be discovered at the site in recent years.The Genius is now being cleaned and conserved. When conservation is complete, it will go on display at the fort museum.
