4th Heinrich Dressel Lecture

Anna Willi (British Museum London) will speak on the topic “More than words: an object-focused look at Roman wax writing tablets”. You are warmly invited.

Wax-coated wooden writing tablets, known as tabulae ceratae, were used by Roman business people, officials and statesmen as well as by schoolchildren and poets, making them a central medium of Roman everyday writing.
The Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum and the Corpus Nummorum, in collaboration with the Berlin Coin Cabinet, invite you to the Lise Meitner Hall.
