Claudia Severa was a literate Roman woman, the wife of Aelius Brocchus, commander of an unidentified fort near Vindolanda fort in northern England.〔Alan Bowman and David Thomas, ''Vindolanda: the Latin writing tablets'', London: Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies, 1983, pp. 256〕 She is known for a birthday invitation she sent around 100 AD to Sulpicia Lepidina, wife of Flavius Cerialis, commander at Vindolanda. This invitation was discovered in the 1970s and is probably the best-known item of the Vindolanda Tablets. The letter was written partly by a scribe and partly in Claudia's own hand. The Vindolanda Tablets also contain a fragment from another letter in Claudia's hand. These two letters are thought to be the oldest extant writing by a Roman woman found in Britain, or perhaps anywhere. ==Display of letter== The invitation was acquired by the British Museum in 1986 (Registration number: 1986,1001.64). The Museum has a selection of the Vindolanda Tablets on display, and loans some to the museum at Vindolanda. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Claudia Severa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
