	Gentleman's Magazine 1847 part 1 p.594 TANNICAE M. COCCEI FIRMUS > (centurio) LEG II AUG. A celebrated altar, found at Virosadum, now Elenborough, and which was esteemed by Horsley as "the finest and most curious Roman altar that ever was discovered in Britain," was erected by Gaius Cornelius Peregrinus, "GENIO LOCI, FORTUNAE REDUCI, ROMAE AETERNAE ET PATO BONO." (Hodgson, p.241.) A votive tablet found at York, and now in the museum of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society, is inscribed GENIO LOCI FELICITER. (See it described and discussed in Wllbeloved's Eburacum, 1842, p.93.)

	Roman Altar, Old Carlisle Before we conclude we may take notice of another altar found at Olenacum, or Old Carlisle, discovered since Mr. Hodgson wrote, and recently communicated by Mr. John Rooke, of Akehead, near Wigton, through Mr. Saull, to the British Archaeological Association. It bears the following inscription, DEAE BEL LONAE RUF INUS PRAE EQ. ALAE AUG ET LAINIA NUS FIL On this occasion it was remarked by Mr. C. Roach Smith, that this inscription is the only one yet found in this island dedicated to Bellona, although we learn from one of the old Roman historians, that there was a temple of Bellona at York.
