Hadrian's Wall Gallery
Vindolanda bath house
The photo above shows detail of the raised floor in the bath house at Vindolanda. In 1973 1,500 ink tablets were found at Vindolanda, the total has risen to almost two thousand. The fragments provide a fascinating insight to life on the Wall:
'I have sent you...pairs of socks, two pairs of sandals and two pairs of underpants.'
'...you ought to decide, my lord, what quantity of wagons you are going to send to carry stone...I ask you to write back what you want me to do. I pray that you are in good health.'
