Title
English: Houshold Gods Found at the Devizes
Description
English: A depiction of the relief from an oil lamp and four ancient statues discovered in the Southbroom Hoard near Devizes, from the figures decorating the margins of Moll's map of "Wilt Shire" (Wiltshire), the seventh in his Set of Fifty New and Correct Maps of England and Wales... Moll follows Musgrave in identifying three of the figures as the Egyptian gods Apis and Anubis and Alexander the Great's horse Bucephalus. Modern scholars instead connect them to the three-horned bull, monstrous dogs, and horses of Celtic Romano-British and Gallo-Roman religion. The wolf or dog from the oil lamp relief may also refer to local mythology rather than Roman legend.


Caption: These Houshold Gods in number 19 with a Medal of Alexander Severus were found at the Devizes An. 1714 and are supposed to have been bury'd there in 234. the Rest for want of Room are placed in Dorset and Hampshires yat are barren of Antiquities; we being unwilling to omit such great Curiosities.

Notes: London: Sold by H. Moll over-against Devereux-Court in the Strand; Tho. Bowles, Print and Map-Seller near the Chapter-House in St. Paul's Church-Yard, and J. Bowles Print and Map-Seller over-against Stocks-Market. 1724.

(Reusing this file)
This file might NOT be in the public domain.

It was previously considered to be in the public domain because it is a scan (or similar) by the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, but not everything scanned by the BNF is automatically in the public domain.

It is possible that this file is in the public domain for other reasons, for example because it was published a long time ago (anything before ca. 1900 is most likely ok) or because its author / artist / photographer died over 70 years ago and it was published over 95 years ago. In such cases, a new rationale should be applied, and a different license tag (see Commons:Licensing and valid license tags at Commons:Copyright tags) should be used.

If the file is not found to be in the public domain, it might be nominated for deletion (NOT by any automatic process, but manually).

See below for the previous rationale (not applicable anymore).
