Roman Wax Writing Tablet with Bronze Stylus – Deepeeka

This Roman Wax writing tablet is crafted from wood and inset with wax panels. Included is a bronze stylus to both inscribe tallies or notes into the wax; the stylus also has an integrated spatula for erasing. It opens like a book on its hinges of leather cordage.

Tablets such as these were common in the ancient world as a means to temporarily conduct tallies, arithmetic, or to create rough drafts of text before committing it to expensive papyrus or parchment.
