Abstract
A military strength report from Vindolanda
Alan K Bowman
J David David Thomas
62 - 73
The only document of its kind to have been found in Britain, this wooden tablet was unearthed in 1988. It is much larger than other writing tablets retrieved from the site, and was found in the pre-Hadrianic area in a ditch thought to have been filled by AD 90--92. It is assessed as a military strength report, as a record of the First Cohort of Tungrians, and for the information it provides about personnel deployment.
