Votive or religious inscriptions, dedicated to different deities, are found in the aras or altars, most of them made of granite, with different styles and shapes. The typical Roman ara, made following the classical canons, consists of a free standing stone. It is between 60 and 90 centimetres in height, with a cubic shape, a projecting cornice and a wide base, and the epigraphic field is located between both features. The altars had a "focus" or circular recess on top to collect blood or liquid offerings. There are many varieties of this classic model, each one with particular features depending on the workshop where they were made or the personal taste of the customers. The dedications to the diverse deities are written in the epigraphic field, following a very simple structure: name of the deity, dedicator and final formula (V.S.L.M. or EX VOTO).
