Children loved to play with toys in ancient times too: some 1,600 years ago, a child in Athens was buried with a terracotta horse on wheels. It was certainly a much-loved which the child was also supposed to play with in the afterlife. ๐Ÿ“ท me On display at Archaeological National Museum Athens

1,900 year-old Roman birthday invitation! ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿฅณ From Claudia Severa to her friend Sulpicia Lepidina, itโ€™s one of the earliest known examples of writing in Latin by a woman!

My photo shows a Roman wooden writing tablet (Vindolanda tablet no. 291) with a birthday invitation written in ink. The invitation is from Claudia Severa, wife of Aelius Brocchus, to Sulpicia Lepidina, wife of Flavius Cerealis, the commander at Vindolanda fort on the northern frontier of Britannia. The writing tablet is made up of two square, wafer thin, pieces of wood, displayed side by side. Each piece is now somewhat fragmentary, with pieces of wood missing in places. The wood is mid-brown in colour with dark text, and is displayed on a cream mount. The text is written in cursive Latin. Most of the text was written by a scribe, but Claudia adds in her own hand โ€œI shall expect you, sister. Farewell, sister, my dearest soul, as I hope to prosper, and hailโ€ making this one of the earliest known examples of writing in Latin by a woman. Dimensions: Width 22.3 cm ร— Height 9.6 cm. Dated c. 97 - 103 AD. From Vindolanda Fort, Northumberland. Now in the British Museum collections.

Sorry guys but no new history fact for today, got way too busy with substituting for a wonderful middle school class, which also lacked any internet access. I promise to post a new history fact tomorrow about one of the most famous swine warriors in history!๐Ÿ’œ
