EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print showcases a remarkable stone relief dating back to the 2nd century, depicting two Romano-British goddesses. Unearthed at Corbridge and now housed in the esteemed Corstopitum Museum, this artifact offers a glimpse into the religious practices of ancient England. The figure on the right is believed to be Fortuna, while on the left stands Brigaritia, revered as the patron goddess of the Brigantes tribe. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship of this relief carving highlight its artistic significance. Captivating in color and composition, this stone relief serves as a testament to both Roman influence and indigenous beliefs during that era. Its presence in Northumberland speaks volumes about the rich cultural heritage of this region. As we admire this piece, it invites contemplation about religion and spirituality in Romano-British society. It prompts us to ponder how these deities were worshipped and what role they played in people's lives. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon, who have beautifully captured every nuance of this artwork through their lens. This image allows us to appreciate not only its historical value but also its aesthetic allure.
