Third Century Statue or Altar Base from Camerton
...ANVS ... CONDEDIT ... ET QVINTIANO COS
"[...] he has undertaken [...] and Quintianus were consuls.¹"
(RIB 180; base; dated AD235 or 289)

The consular mentioned in the trailing portion of this text is either; Lucius Tiberius Claudius Aurelius Quintinianus who was the junior colleague of Gnaeus Claudius Severus in AD235 (a.u.c.998), or less likely, Lucius Ragonius Quintianus who was consul for AD289 (a.u.c.1042) with Marcus Magrius Bassus his junior colleague.

Possible Romano-British Temple

"CAMERTON: unmethodically dug by J. Skinner in 1814-15 (Fig. 98). Building with several irregular rooms in semi-circular court with frontage of 75 ft. No precise parallel. Part of dedicatory inscription dated (probably) 235 [vide RIB 180 supra], skirt and feet of stone statue, pedestal with feet of four figures, large column capital, stone spearhead, painted plaster, pottery, etc., five coins (British and Vespasian to Constantine). All points to small shrine of unusual type." (Lewis 1966 p.96)
