Roman Milestone, Lancaster Museum

Not on general display. This milestone was found at Burrow Heights, Aston with Stodday in a similar location to SD4761 : Old Roman Milestone in Lancaster City Museum, Lancaster Parish. (during ploughing or during canal works). It dates to 244-249 and the period of Emperor Caesar Marcus Julius Philippus (Philip 1) The companion milestone on display comes from the following emperor, Decius, suggesting the earlier was succeeded by the newer one in the same location. Records imply it was probably displayed at Lunecliffe (Stodday Lodge) before it came to the museum in 1936 from the donor. For more on the Museum - their website Link
