Discover V-mail - the Roman empire's equivalent of the email or text message! The letters discovered at Vindolanda were written on flexible 'postcards' of wood, which were tied together in zigzags and carried by couriers from all over the empire. They include a birthday invitation, shopping lists, and gossipy letters between friends.
