Does any kind and generous RAT member have access to this reference for the inscription found just east of Newstead and would they care to let me know what it says?
Thank you in advance.

Ciao Vindex,
you need other reference about this inscription, besides the RIB himself ?

Campestr(ibus) / sacrum Ael(ius) / Marcus / dec(urio) alae Aug(ustae) / Vocontio(rum) / v(otum) s(olvit) l(ibens) l(aetus) m(erito)

Thank you SO much - that is very kind.
This was all I was looking for - is there more?

You are welcome!
momentarily doesn't come to my mind other references… (If I find something I will send you)
nevertheless the RIB is completely on-line and you can personally
check the inscription.
There is also a page about the site of
Trimontivm (Newstead ) and the discoveries.
Very best.
S.M.

Sometimes it's nice to see the actual object, too.
