Roman spirit carving, Housesteads Roman Fort Museum, Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland, England
Roman carved stone depicting the genii cucullati, 3 spirits wearing hooded cloaks, commonly worshipped across Northern Europe, possibly in connection with fertility, found in the alcove of a small family shrine in the vicus, the civilian settlement outside of the fort, at the Housesteads Roman Fort Museum, Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland, England. Hadrian's Wall was built 73 miles across Britannia, now England, 122-128 AD, under the reign of Emperor Hadrian, ruled 117-138, to mark the Northern extent of the Roman Empire and guard against barbarian attacks from the Picts to the North. The Housesteads Roman Fort Museum is run by English Heritage and forms part of the Hadrian's Wall UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
