 | | One of things from class that I found most interesting was the tactic used by the soldiers at Vindolanda of kidnapping children of the leaders of the Scottish clans. | | | Lott showed us had legionaries in it and only auxiliary troops are supposed to have been stationed at Vindolanda, which I think is kind of a glaring innacuracy, but y'know. | | | While this kind of seems like it would raise more anomosity against the Roman forces and create more of conflict, it must have been effective because there doesnt appear to have been any major attacks on Vindolanda. |

| | Vindolanda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Vindolanda is famous for the finds of fragments of half-burnt wooden leaf-tablets with writing in ink containing messages to and from members of the garrison, their families, and their slaves. | | | This fort, and the civilian community abutting it – called a "vicus", remained in existence until the end of the Roman period in Britain in AD Scattered finds suggest some type of settlement, including a possible early church, well into the 5th century. | | | This page was last modified 20:31, 25 July 2005. |

| | Vindolanda |
| | The visible remains today date to a reconstruction under Constantius I. Roman troops were stationed in Vindolanda right to the end of Roman Britain in the 5th century. | | | Probably there was a need to strengthen the central sector of Hadrian's Wall, possibly against raiding parties from the North. | | | With the forts directly moved up to the wall it was shortly abandoned, but there are hints that even later in Hadrian's reign some of the hinterland forts like Vindolanda and Carvoran were reoccupied. |

| | It is interesting to note that Tungrians manned Vindolanda as early as 90 A.D., considering that Tungria and Batavia had revolted against Roman rule in the 69-70 A.D. (Bowman, 1994, pg.26-7). | | | Plenty of evidence exists for both the use of Virgil in elementary writing exercises and also examples of lines of Virgil found in documents from a military context (Bowman et al., 1994, pg 65-6). | | | Although only one such ink writing tablet had been found previously in Britain, approximately 2,500 fragments have been found in the two decades of excavations at Vindolanda (Bowman, 1998: 15). |

| | Vindolanda -- History and Mythology |
| | The site of Vindolanda is most famous for the hundreds of writing tablets found there in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. | | | At this time, the useful timber was removed from Vindolanda and the site was abandoned as the regiment which had inhabited it (possibly the 1st cohort of Tungrians) moved approximately two miles north to a stone fortress at Hadrian's Wall called Housesteads. | | | These tablets fall into two main categories: stylus tablets, which are recessed pieces of wood which were once coated with wax so messages could be incised upon them, and ink writing tablets, flat, thin slices of limewood, many of which are wafer thin, written on with ink. |
