Roman Writing Tablet with Bronze Stylus

This Roman writing tablet consists of two hollowed-out beechwood frames hinged together and filled with beeswax, complete with a bronze stylus and smoother.

Wax tablets of this kind served as the everyday notepad of the Roman world, used for correspondence, accounts, and school lessons, since the wax surface could be smoothed flat with the broad end of the stylus and reused indefinitely, unlike costlier papyrus or parchment.

This reproduction measures 5 by 8 inches, part of our Roman heritage range.

  • Dungeon Lock, Casting Iron, Small

    SKU: RPT8052.4

    The warded lock was the standard locking mechanism throughout the medieval period, using internal obstructions, or wards, that only a correctly notched key could bypass. Padlocks, likely Roman in origin, became a genuine speciality of early medieval blacksmiths, with the Vikings particularly noted for their skill in producing them, and the size and decoration of a lock generally reflected the value of whatever it protected, from simple chest padlocks to the elaborate gates of a castle.

    This dungeon lock is cast in iron, a small build suited to dungeon-themed decor, costume, or historical display.
