More information : [Marginal] 'A Roman altar, dedicated to Mars for the Emperor Augustine, was discovered at Staincross Common about 100 years ago'. [i.e. c.1799]. (1) Found on Staincrossmoor, near Barnsley in 1782, now lost - Deo Mar (TI) Pro Salu (TE) (Dominorum Nostrorum) Imp(eratoris) Au(? relii) The title first appears about 200 A.D., and becomes common after A.D.284. The last word may be wrong. If we read Aurelius, we may suppose the inscription to have commemorated any Emperor in the third century who bore that name and had a colleague.
