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.

Contains editions of the ink writing-tablets, and stilus tablets, found at Vindolanda during the excavations of 1991-1994.

First Published in 1998. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Garrison life at Vindolanda

A fascinating insight into everyday life on Hadrian's Wall. The translations of the Vindolanda Scrolls ('send fresh socks' etc) are also a treat!
