Head of 'Geordie Roman god' found at Binchester



The discovery was made at Binchester Roman Fort, near Bishop Auckland, as a team dug through an old bath house. The 20cm sandstone head, from the 2nd or 3rd century, is similar to Celtic deity Antenociticus, thought to have been worshipped locally in war time. via Pocket http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-23164533#sa-ns_mchannel=rss&ns_source=PublicRSS20-sa
