Roman writing tablets - with centre bar
(Unit Price: 13,90 ¤ per pcs.)
Double wax tablet with centre bar
Write with the stylus into beeswax!
Anyone who wants to trace ancient history in scripture should use this hand-made double wax tablet (lat. diptychon, tabula ceratae) with a centre bar of beechwood. A special feature of this writing tablet is the small wooden surface in the centre which prevents adhesion at hot temperatures. The writing surfaces are filled with black beeswax and protected by folding up the wax tablet. Of course the smooth writing surface can be erased with the back of the stylus to write on it again.
Note: In the section „Other images' you will find a wall fresco from Pompeii (Italy), depicting this kind of wax tablet.
