Description

Explore a unique window into Romano-British life with The Uley Tablets. Published by Oxford University Press, this volume provides the first full publication of eighty Roman lead writing-tablets discovered during excavations at the temple of Mercury in Uley, Gloucestershire. These tablets, along with two from the nearby Tarlton site, offer a rare look at how ancient people sought divine intervention through curse tablets. Similar to the famous findings at Bath, these documents reveal the personal struggles of individuals living in the Cotswolds. The texts capture real-life grievances, such as the theft of farm animals, stolen clothing, or even a stolen beehive. Notably, the mention of a beehive provides the first known document of bee-keeping in Britain. This scholarly work is an essential resource for those interested in ancient documents, Roman religion, and the daily lives of people in Roman Britain.
