Very cool!
A salutation by her in larger script. Just as the Apostle Paul says in Galatians 6:11 “See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!”

My son is in the Army and I got him a copy of a CD entitled “letters from the front “ . It was about the letters from Roman soldiers stationed at Vindolanda. Great video!

Did Severa also invite Biggus Dickus and his wife, Incontinentia Buttocks?

Once you catch up on the cursive Homey, you’ll need to figure out how to translate it from Latin.

Lepidina is at VI’s and VII’s about what to wear to her sister’s birthday party, but she will be dressed to the IX’s.

Soldiers in the field getting clean socks and underwear from home. My, how things haven’t changed. That could have been me, from time to time.

Very interesting. Not the usual Latin script. I can make out “Ad Nos” and that is about it (If I have made out even that!) Looks like Tolkein’s elvish...
