The Vindolanda writing-tablets cast light upon the Roman forces occupying the frontier between England and Scotland, just before Hadrian's Wall was built. This work analyzes recent evidence revealing Roman life and literacy on the frontier, and examines the nature and importance of the tablets.
The Vindolanda writing-tablets cast a unique light upon the role of the occupying Roman forces who organized the frontier region between England and Scotland, just before Hadrian's Wall was built. This substantial work of palaeography includes editions, with translation and commentary, of all the tablets which contain significant amounts of text; and also brief descriptions of those which cannot be read, or contain very little writing, and brief re-editions of all the texts published earlier in Bowman and Thomas. The introduction to this work analyzes recent evidence provided by the tablets, revealing Roman life and literacy on the frontier, and examines the nature and importance of these remarkable documents.
