The Alaisagae are two deities mentioned in votive inscriptions found in Housesteads Roman Fort near Hadrian's Wall. One inscription (RIB 1593) was carved on a portal pillar that originally supported an arch at the entrance of the shrine on Chapel Hill. The pillar's placement at the entrance highlights the symbolic role of the deities represented, welcoming worshippers into the sacred space.
