Curse tablets in the Roman style
In the Roman times (43 to 410 AD), there was no police force so, if the victim couldn't catch the criminal themselves, there was little hope of justice. Therefore, the victims of crimes often turned to the Roman gods for help instead by writing curses. Below, you can see the curse tablets, we have written, in the style of the Romans. We even had fun creating Roman names to curse.
