Roman stylus tablet, Vindolanda Museum, Hadrian's Wall, Northumberl
Roman wooden stylus tablet with recessed surfaces to hold coloured wax, and metal stylus pen with a sharp tip for writing in the wax, in the Vindolanda Museum, Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland, England. 2 or 3 of these wooden trays were bound together with leather thongs through holes bored through the raised edges, then coloured wax filled the tray, to be written into and then reused. Hadrian's Wall was built 73 miles across Britannia, now England, 122-128 AD, under the reign of Emperor Hadrian, ruled 117-138, to mark the Northern extent of the Roman Empire and guard against barbarian attacks from the Picts to the North. The Vindolanda Museum is run by the Vindolanda Charitable Trust and forms part of the Hadrian's Wall UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
