ABSTRACT
The man had the three names of a citizen and came from Pollentia which was near Turin in N. Italy. The stone is now in the Rowley House Museum, Shrewsbury. 2. Found in 1783 near the blacksmith’s shop, north of the bath-house. This is now part of the post office and since it is well within the city defences was presumably reused as a building stone at an earlier period. It reads: TIB(ERIVS) CLAVD(IVS) TIRINTIVS EQ(VES) COH(ORTIS) [. . .] THRACVM AN[N]ORVM LVII STI[P]ENDIOR(VM) XX[. . .] H(IC) S(ITVS) E(ST) Tiberius Claudius Tirintius, trooper of [. . .] Cohort of Thracians, aged 57 with [. . .] years of service lies here (RIB. 291).
