Subject: Vindolanda Tablets Online launched
An online edition of the Vindolanda tablets:
http://vindolanda.csad.ox.ac.uk/
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
draws on 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 a reference guide to specialised aspects of Roman life encountered
in these documents, such as currency and military terminology, the scholarly
introductions to the tablets and an account of the creation of digital texts
and images.
This freely accessible site will be of interest for research and teaching in
Latin, ancient history, classical civilization and archaeology in
universities and schools as well as to anyone with an interest in the
ancient world.
It 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.
