Document Details : Title: Lateinische Inschriften aus dem Thermenmuseum in Heerlen (Niederlande) Author(s): MINIS, Joes , SCHORN, Stefan Journal: Ancient Society Volume: 48 Date: 2018 Pages: 221-261 DOI: 10.2143/AS.48.0.3285203 Abstract : This article contains the first edition of four inscriptions from Coriovallum/Heerlen and of another inscription of unknown provenance. No. 1 is a tessera militaris that attests the presence of soldiers at Coriovallum. In the commentary on this piece the various forms of owners’ inscriptions on such nameplates are discussed. No. 2 is a fragment of an altar for Fortuna from the bathhouse of Coriovallum. Together with other attestations for the local cult of this goddess, it may provide evidence that the bathhouse was frequented by soldiers and veterans and used for medical treatment. No. 3 is a leaden label that attests the sale or delivery of 30 kilo of a bark product (corticium: a new word) that may be related to tannery. Nos. 4 (from Coriovallum) and 5 (of unknown provenance) are pieces of military equipment with indications of the owners’ identities. |
