Roman Inscriptions of Britain, Vol. 8 restores this inscription to '...le]g[atus Augusti iuridi]cvs [pro/vincae Bri]tann[i]ae/ [ob vi]ctoriam/ [Daci]cam', meaning 'imperial juridical legate of the province of Britain on account of the Dacian victory', a commemoration of Trajan's vistory of AD 102 or 106. 'Dacicam' could actually be 'Parthicam' or 'Germanicam' which would suggest a Severan date for the inscription. There are other alternatives for the last word. See Shepherd (1998, 191) for details and references to other publications discussing this object. From rubble overlying sleeper wall of southern arcade of Temple of Mithras; Bag 217.
