Pic looks a bit odd to me.

Very interesting. I went to do some more research and found some interesting info on the Hittites and Teshub here http://www.maravot.com/Hittite_Treaties.html

Not at all surprised they needed a weather god at Vindolanda, a chilly windswept place in my experience albeit a rather beautiful location.

They def. did do some nice work on stone back then already .. I wonder why they think it is an altar.
