| description | Alburnus Maior is one of the best-documented and most interesting Roman provincial rural societies. It provided historians with a most complex source: the wax tablets, representing contracts and other juridical documents, hid in a mine gallery when tragedy struck (the Marcomannic attack of 168 AD) and never recovered by their owners.
