Abstract

Roman wills were usually written on waxed tablets due to the sealing regulations of the SC Nero­nianum and the associated enforceability of an assignment to the estate. Such wills were probably made by thousands of Roman citizens. Surprisingly, only one will of this type has survived in its almost complete form. Apart from a very small number of further fragments known from Egypt, a tablet from Wales was edited nearly twenty years ago, but has received little attention in the literature on Roman law and ancient legal history. The following article is dedicated to this tabula cerata from Trawsfynydd.
