50 Objects from Vindolanda

By Barbara Birley and Elizabeth M. Greene

Published in partnership with the Vindolanda Trust, this book celebrates some of the most fascinating objects that have been found at Vindolanda.

The excavations at Vindolanda have revealed some of the most precious and unique artifacts in Roman history. From leather boxing gloves and children's shoes to wooden hair combs and the first evidence of female writing in Britain, this collection of artifacts reveals the amazing and diverse array of material culture present in Britain during the Roman period. They reveal the connections Britain had to the Continent and the Mediterranean world of the Roman Empire in a vibrant and sometimes personal way.

These fifty objects illustrate the wealth of knowledge that can be revealed through everyday objects and through them an understanding of the communities that lived at Vindolanda almost 2,000 years ago.
