Taking a precious curse tablet from Kegworth Heritage Centre to the University of Nottingham for examination. The XRF machine says it is definitely lead and we are waiting for the results from scanning using the impressive machines at Advanced Manufacturing. Hoping to reveal more of its text!

A week in Leiden investigating the Roman stylus tablets in the RMO's collection with my colleague, Alex Meyer from the Uni of Western Ontario, culminating in a talk at Het KWC school to show them all we had discovered and to do some live deciphering! @uonclassarch.bsky.social

At beautiful Vindolanda near Hadrian's Wall this week working with the amazing team here and studying the precious writing tablets. The new museum display looks fabulous, and it is exciting to see our recent work on display. @vindolandatrust.bsky.social @uonclassarch.bsky.social

Some of the birthday invitations for Lepidina in ROMAN CURSIVE SCRIPT that the Ash Class at St Andrews made. 😍They picked Roman names too. They were not impressed, however, that she didn't know anything about football parties or ice-cream! @vindolandatrust.bsky.social @uonclassarch.bsky.social

And here's Lepidina's office. The dice tower (original from Vettweiss-Froitzheim) came in very handy when she had to let Fortuna decide on which birthday invitation to pick. Activity inspired by: romaninscriptionsofbritain.org/inscriptions... @vindolandatrust.bsky.social @uonclassarch.bsky.social

Cerialis (AKA Janie Masseglia) and his wife Lepidina (AKA Alex Mullen) from the Roman fort at Vindolanda setting up at St Andrews School in North Kilworth for their Roman Day last week. The Year 3-4 Ash Class were simply brilliant! @uonclassarch.bsky.social @archanchistleic.bsky.social
