Виндоланда

Also known as Vindolanda Roman Fort, Chesterholm Roman Fort, Castra Vindolanda, Chesterholm-Vindolanda (Samian Ware Discovery Site)

Vindolanda was a Roman auxiliary fort (castrum) just south of Hadrian's Wall in northern England, which it pre-dated. Archaeological excavations of the site show it was under Roman occupation from roughly 85 AD to 370 AD. Located near the modern village of Bardon Mill in Northumberland, it guarded the Stanegate, the Roman road from the River Tyne to the Solway Firth. It is noted for the Vindolanda tablets, a set of wooden leaf-tablets that were, at the time of their discovery, the oldest surviving handwritten documents in Britain.

Виндоланда (англ. Vindolanda) — древнеримский укреплённый военный лагерь на севере Англии, близ вала Адриана. По данным раскопок, лагерь построен для отражения набегов пиктов около 85 г. н. э. и оставался под римским управлением до конца IV века н. э., но и после этого был обитаем. Лагерь стоял на важной дороге, соединявшей римское поселение Лугувалиум (ныне Карлайл) с военным лагерем Кория (ныне ). Виндоланда знаменита, в первую очередь, найденными в ней деревянными табличками, проливающими свет на быт древнеримской провинции. Это одни из древнейших письменных документов, обнаруженных на территории Великобритании (немногим старше их лишь римские таблички, найденные в 2013 году в Лондоне).
