Beschreibung:
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanegate" rel="nofollow">Stanegate</a> was the Roman road linking the Roman forts at Corbridge (Corstopitum) and Carlisle (Luguvalium). It was built at about the same time as the first fort at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vindolanda" rel="nofollow">Vindolanda</a>. It would also become the northern frontier of Roman territory in Britain until Hadrian's Wall was built just north of it. This is a replica with a false inscription of the only one of its milestones to survive intact (although its inscription is almost gone). Chesterholm is in the background.

It reads:
IMP CAES
TR HADRIANO
AVG PM TR PV
COS III PP
A CORIS
MPXX
Which when expanded becomes:
IMPERATORI CAESARI
TRAIANO HADRIANO
AVGVSTO PONTIFICI MAXIMO TRIBVNICIAE POTESTATIS V
CONSVLI III PATRI PATRIAE
A CORIS
MILLE PASSVVM XX
Coris would be the fort at Coria or Corstopitum (now Corbridge).
Emperor Caesar
Trajan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadrian
Augustus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontifex_Maximus 5 (years) since assuming the powers* of a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribune of the Plebs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_consul 3 times, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pater_patriae
To Coria
20 Thousand Paces
A Roman pace (two steps) was 5 feet, so a thousand paces was 5000 feet, or 1 Roman mile.

  • The Emperors, being patricians, could not actually be Tribunes of the Plebs, but since Augustus, they had held all that office's powers, and personal immunity from violence (their persons were sacrosanct).
