	BBC/OU Open2.net - Timewatch - Life on the wall - Vindolanda
		Until Hadrian’s Wall was constructed in the AD 120s, Vindolanda was one of a small number of forts guarding the supply road known now as the Stanegate, and during Wall construction it probably served as a supply base for the legionary builders.
		I now realise that Vindolanda was a much larger place than previously thought, and that multiple layers of occupation extend down to six metres in places – and in many parts those earliest layers are preserved in anaerobic conditions.
		As far as we know, Vindolanda was never more than a normal garrison fort on the northern frontier, with the camp followers – wives, children, merchants, slaves, and so on – living outside the fort walls.

	Vindolanda
		Vindolanda was a Roman auxiliary fort located just south of Hadrian's Wall between England and Scotland, guarding the Roman road from the River Tyne, to Solway Firth, now known as the Stanegate.
		Vindolanda is famous for the finds of fragments of half-burnt wooden leaf-tablets with writing in ink containing messages to and from members of the garrison, their families, and their slaves.
		For example there is a famous letter written around 100AD from Sulpicia Lepidena, the wife of the commander of a nearby fort to Claudia Severa, wife of the commandant of Vindolanda, inviting her to a birthday party.

		Vindolanda was placed at the intersection of two major east/west, north/south roads.
		Vindolanda was built on a bog (swampy area with acidic and anaerobic water) and so organic artifacts that would ordinarily rot were in fact preserved.
		Vindolanda is particularly interesting because it has yieled several organic objects, like socks and letters, for example, that should not have survived.

	A Glimpse of Life at the Roman Fort Vindolanda (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In Messicus's time, Vindolanda was home to a "part mounted" unit, the Ninth Cohort of Batavians, Dutch soldiers under the command of one of their own princes, a man whose Latinized name was Flavius Cerialis.
		In winter it would be a campaign against the marauding wolf pack whose tracks could be seen in the snow, while in the spring it would be the daintier pleasures of hawking doves or netting swans.
		Vindolanda's massive wooden gates creaked on their iron hinges as guards swung them wide to admit Cerialis and his attendants.

	Brown Classical Journal
		Finally, the tablets of Vindolanda give writings which show the common human condition shared between the average Roman in the provinces and the modern individual, elements noticeably missing from the writings of the elite scholars and historians.
		Not only was the soldier at Vindolanda more busy and active than the lone watchman sitting on a wall in the rain, guarding the frontier as indicated by W.H. Auden, but the average soldier at Vindolanda was not even at the fort.
		I believe that Vindolanda, and other forts along the Roman frontier in Britain were not solely, or even primarily, for military purposes, in the strictest sense of the fighting of battles.
