New Web Version of Famous Romano-British Military Letters

An online edition of the Vindolanda tablets was launched on March 20th 2003. The website includes texts, translations, notes and new high-resolution 'zoomable' digital images of all the published tablets. A virtual exhibition also uses the texts and archaeological evidence from Vindolanda and other sites on Britain's northern frontier to introduce the content and context of the tablets to a non-specialist audience. Other resources within the website include the scholarly introductions to the tablets, an account of the creation of digital texts and images and a reference guide to specialized aspects of Roman life encountered in the documents, such as currency and military terminology.

This freely accessible site is a resource for research and teaching in classics, ancient history and archaeology in universities and schools as well as for everyone with a general interest in the ancient world.

The website is a collaborative project between the Centre for the Study of Ancient Documents (Faculty of Classics) and the Academic Computing Development Team at Oxford University, sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon foundation.
