EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two fascinating writing instruments from the Roman Era. On the left, we have a reed pen with a split nib dating back to Egypt in the 1st Century AD. This ancient tool would have been used by scribes and scholars to meticulously record important information on papyrus scrolls or tablets.
On the right, we see three stylus pens that were commonly used in the Roman Empire during the 2nd Century AD. These styluses were essential for writing on wax tablets, which could be easily erased and reused—an early form of sustainable note-taking!
The intricate craftsmanship of these objects is truly remarkable, highlighting the ingenuity and creativity of ancient civilizations. Each pen tells a story of communication, education, and innovation in a time long past.
As we gaze upon these relics from antiquity, we are reminded of the enduring power of written language to connect us across centuries and cultures. The evolution of writing tools like these pens reflects our shared human desire to express ourselves through words—a timeless tradition that continues to shape our world today.
