By twist of one, the spells begun

By twist of two, I conjure you

By twist of three, so shall it be

By twist of four, on the rock I score

By twist of five, the stars align

By twist of six, thy balls I fix

By twist of seven, from here to Heaven

By twist of eight, I command your fate

By twist of nine, the tubes maligned

By twist of ten, your cock doth bend

Distance Slab from Old Kilpatrick, Scotland dated to the 2nd Century CE on display at the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow, Scotland

This stone slab depicts the front of a Roman temple with a reclining figure of Victory holding a laurel wreath and leans on a globe, symbolic of her realm. This is an unusual position ofr her as she is normally depicted standing with her foot on the globe in a dominating fashion. It has been suggested that she is shown in the pose of a river god, a reference to th enearby river Clyde.

The latin inscription reads:

"For the Empeor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, Father of his Country, a detachment of the Twentieth Valiant and Victorious Legion built [this] pver a distance of 4411 feet."

The 20th legion were part of the previous centuries invasions of Britain including the revolt under Boudica and the attack on the Druids in Anglesey. In the 2nd century they were part of the construction of Hadrian's Wall.
