Notebook Bag

[Martin Moser]

A little bag shown zo me by a friend from a recent article from Vindonissa. According to the authors it was most likely used as a bag/container for writing tablets, sizewise it fits nicely for some of the tablets found in Vindonissa it seems. Interestingly, there is a almost identical pice of leather that was found in Vindolanda and first identified as a piece of horse or saddle gear by van Driel-Murray, but she know apparently is of the same opinion as the above authors.
