[Feedback from Dr Austen - Great work here Carly, and I can se that you have made excellent use of the scholarship available. I will not repeat the points made by your peer reviewer, since they are very thorough already, and I agree that these are all valid points to keep in mind as you continue working on your own draft. I think the two key sections you are planning on adding work perfectly, and will lead to a very well-rounded article.]
** From Wikipedias, [Bath curse tablets] **
The Bath curse tablets are a collection of about 130 Roman-era curse tablets (or defixiones in Latin) discovered in 1979/1980 in the English city of Bath. The tablets act as a request for intervention of the goddess Sulis Minerva in the return of stolen goods and to curse the perpetrators of thefts. Inscribed mostly in British Latin, they have been used to attest to the everyday spoken vernacular of the Romano-British population of the second to fourth centuries A.D. They have also been recognised by UNESCO in its Memory of the World UK Register.
