| Description |
English: National Museum of Scotland Today, Cramond is a suburb of Edinburgh, but it is also the site of the oldest evidence of human habitation so far found in Scotland (8500BC). For about fifteen years in the middle of the second century AD, it was the site of a Roman Fort built in the reign of the Emperor Antoninus Pius, who had ordered a frontier built across the relatively narrow gap between the Clyde and the Forth, north of Hadrian's Wall. This statue, of a lioness biting the head of a man and two snakes (probably symbolising immortality or rebirth), is thought to have been a memorial for a dead Roman officer. It may have been one of a pair of statues. |
