Mysterious Roman Curse Tablet Unearthed at Ancient Dutch Military Settlement
Researchers at Heidelberg University's Papyrology Institute have identified a Roman-era lead curse tablet excavated from a pit in the city centre of Heerlen, Netherlands. Measuring approximately 3.7 × 1.9 inches, the artefact originates from the Roman military settlement of Coriovallum in Lower Germania. Written in Greek and invoking Egyptian deities, the tablet is exceptionally rare for northern Europe, and scholars suggest its author may have been an enslaved person from Roman Egypt.
