Key Features:
- Authentic Design: Expertly cast from the original terracotta plaque, this reproduction highlights the artistic and cultural significance of Roman religious artefacts.
- Material: Made from high-quality resin, faithfully replicating the original design.
- Size: Approx 12cm tall x 7cm wide, making it ideal for display or educational purposes.
- Historical Significance: The God of Wheelwrights would have been venerated by those involved in making and repairing wheels, an essential trade in the Roman world. Wheels were critical for transportation, including the movement of goods, troops, and supplies. The plaque’s presence at Corbridge Fort underscores its connection to the logistics and craftsmanship that sustained the Roman Empire.
