Anatolian god Juppiter?

Sorry, Jupiter was a Roman god. And he could spell it right I imagine.

Unless the writer means Ppluto.Or Ppan.

At any rate it is probably Mithras who was the soldier’s diety and was concerned with bulls.

The Scotts aren't bad

Other finds include letters home by Roman soldiers, written in ink on wood, asking for warm clothing and socks.

My husband and I visited Vindolanda about 15 years ago. It was pretty neat then. I suppose they have discovered a lot more since we were there. From the fort we walked about a mile along a country road lined by a stone wall and then across a sheep pasture to get to Hadrian's wall.

interesting what they are finding as they continue to excavate vindolanda. I visited it about 10 yrs ago, and 75% of the newer fort was (as far as I could tell) undug.
