As aras son dos testemuños máis claros da adopción das formas rituais romanas. Por regra case xeral están formadas por un bloque monolítico, dotado de base e cornixa diferenciadas e case sempre provistas de molduras decorativas, rematado na súa cara superior por un focus, moitas veces entre rolos, sobre o que se materializaría o ritual.

Na cara frontal aparece o campo epigráfico, cunha inscrición alusiva á divindade á que se dedica o altar acompañada, en ocasións, do nome do dedicante e, mesmo, dunha referencia ó motivo polo que se levantou o altar.

As aras que chegaron a nós mostran a pervivencia dalgunhas divindades indíxenas (Aernus, Breus, Cosus, Vestius Aloniecus...) e a implantación do Panteón Clásico (Diana, Iovi, Lares Viales, Mars, Mercurius, Nymphae...)
