History
Conference by Alan Bowman, professor emeritus in ancient history at the University of Oxford.
The Vindolanda tablets are among the oldest surviving handwritten documents in Britain and Northern Europe, offering unparalleled insights into life in Roman Britain, including the earliest known birthday party invitation written by a woman. Discovered in 1973 at the Roman fort of Vindolanda, they have transformed our understanding of early Roman occupation of Britain and (military) life in Northern Europe. Professor Bowman explores the challenges of deciphering and interpreting the tablets and reveals how they illuminate the social and economic lives of soldiers and their families, with a focus on units recruited from the Lower Rhine region.
