- Description
-
Copper alloy shield-shaped base of a statuette, with rounded recesses at either end and in the middle of either side, inscribed round the rim. The statuette has broken off, except for the stump of a right foot which resembles a horse's hoof and suggests an equestrian statuette. An oval marks the site of a left foot. The foeman, now headless, lies on his back.

- Curator's comments
- 'The cult-title Corotiacus is probably the name of another local god, this time identified with Mars. It too survived the Roman period, since it is the name of an obstreperous British king to whom St Patrick addressed his Epistle to Coroticus' (Tomlin 2018, 340)
