VINDOLANDA - Museum & Roman Fort - 2006 

Vindolanda was a Roman auxiliary fort (castrum) located at Chesterholm, just south of Hadrian's Wall in northern England, near the modern border with Scotland; it guarded the Stanegate, the Roman road from the River Tyne to the Solway Firth. It is noted for the Vindolanda Tablets, among the most important finds of military and private correspondence (written on wooden tablets) found anywhere in the Roman Empire.
