FORTVNAE SACRVM — sacred to Fortuna — reads the altar that stood at the entrance to the Society's display in 2026, dedicated by one Petronius Stephanus for himself and his household. It is the kind of object that makes a frontier legible: not a battle, but a man hedging his luck.
For the fourth consecutive year the Greek-Scythian Society exhibited at AUXILIA, and this was the fullest display yet — authentic artefacts from a long-established English private collection set beside high-quality reconstructions of weapons, equipment and dress. A ring-pommel dagger. A comb of bone and gilt bronze. A tray of harness fittings gone green with age; glass and silver on a red cloth.
Over two days the Society talked with visitors, with re-enactors and with a film crew, and made the argument it has made since 2023: that the history of Roman Britain runs back to the Eurasian steppe, and that the objects are the way to show it.
