dedicated to Jupiter by Ælius Rufus, "præfectus cohortis quartæ Lingonum;" but, although it was found among the remains of the supposed buildings of the earlier monastery, to the north of the existing ruins, there is no proof whatever that it was in situ, or that it may not have been transferred thither in remote times from the adjoining station of Segedunum, Wall's End, which is known to have been garrisoned by the cohort named in the dedication[1].
