Deskrifans |
English: Statuette carved out of local Oolitic limestone, and is likely to have been a miniature altar. The Statuette depicts a naked man with his right arm across his chest. In his left hand he is holding what appears to be an axe. The crude design of the figurine would also suggest that it is of a deity who has fertility or renewal qualities attached to him. The depiction of the figure is quite Celtic in style, however Roman influence can be seen in the surrounding archway. We could perhaps make a link between this statuette and two other important inscriptions found very closely in Ancaster itself (Whitwell, 1992, p125). Both of the inscriptions date to around the same time as the statuette and display both Roman and Celtic influences. The inscriptions found in Ancaster would both originally have formed part of an archway into a Romano-Celtic temple, and are dedicated to the god Viridios or Viridius. Apart from these two inscriptions from Ancaster, Viridios is not known from any other part of the world, and so it is likely that Viridios was a local tribal god.
These local gods and goddesses are often thought to be pre-Roman woodland spirits, usually unique to their geographical location, however as with the Sudbrook carving, later representations of these tribal spirits often portray traits to show that they have been paired with individual members of the pantheon of classical deities. The Roman god mars is often portrayed holding an axe, however in this case the association is fairly tenuous. |
