Description
This inscription records the restoration of a Jupiter column in the town by Lucius Septimius, who is described as the rector or governor of the Province of Britannia Prima. The inscription reads as follows: 'To Jupiter, Best and Greatest, His Perfection Lucius Septimius ... governor of Britannia Prima, restored (this monument), being a citizen of Rheims'.  It was found in Victoria Road, Cirencester, in 1910. The fact that Septimius is listed as governor tells us that Corinium was the capital of Britannia Prima.
