Description: Legitimacy and Law in the Roman World : Tabulae in Roman Belief and Practice, Hardcover by Meyer, Elizabeth A., ISBN 0521497019, ISBN-13 9780521497015, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Tabulae, tablets, were thick wooden boards with a coating of wax set into a rectangular depression on which people wrote; they were expensive and cumbersome but easy to store and difficult to forge, and were used especially for legal documents. Meyer (history, U. of Virgina) argues that they were perceived by Romans to have special powers. This belief, she says, was incorporated into late-antique Roman law and became the ancestor of the modern document called a dipositive, that is, the legal document as the legal act itself.
