Many stones have express reference to the actual structure
{opus valli), and are therefore referred to here as walling
tablets. These inscriptions absolutely confirm the statement
of Julius Capitolinus, and, moreover,, afford authoritative infor-
mation that the vallum was the work of the 2nd, 6th, and
20th Legions and their auxiliaries.
No fewer than eighteen of the Availing tablets expressly
bearing reference to the work have been found at various
points, some of them in the stations, and some on the line of
the vallum away from the stations altogether. These inscrip-
tions are quoted below. The original texts have been
carefully re-examined by Professor W. M. Ramsay and Mr.
Haverfield.
