How did Roman soldiers write and send letters from the frontlines? This documentary explores how Roman soldiers connected with their families and friends. We begin by broadly discussing literacy rates and how one would write a letter in the first place. We then discuss how these letters were sent across the Roman Empire through public and private couriers. Finally, we look at the contents of these Roman letters.
