Vindolanda tablets
Vindolanda tablets, fragments of half-burnt wooden leaf-tablets with writing in ink containing messages to and from members of the garrison of Vindolanda Roman fort, their families, and their slaves. For example there is a famous letter written around 100 from Sulpicia Lepidina, the wife of the commander of a nearby fort to Claudia Severa, wife of the commandant of Vindolanda, inviting her to a birthday party.
