This online edition of the Vindolanda writing tablets, excavated from the Roman fort at Vindolanda in northern England, has been superseded by the full online edition of all the published tablets included in the romaninscriptionsofbritain.org website, to which users are now referred. The following static elements of the website remain available:

Exhibition - an introduction to the tablets and their context

Reference - a guide to aspects of the tablets’ content

The website was created as part of the Script, Image and the Culture of Writing in the Ancient World programme, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. It is a collaborative project between the Centre for the Study of Ancient Documents and the Academic Computing Development Team, Oxford University.

Scholarly publications should refer to this site as:

Editions of individual tablets can now be found on the romaninscriptionsofbritain.org website and cited as, e.g., http://romaninscriptions ofbritain.org/inscriptions/TabVindol291 (Tab. Vindol. II 291)
