what is the difference between typical & atypical.need atypial features of roman fort vindolanda?

Answer 1

Unusual is the number of well-preserved written documents found there.

"It is famous for the find of the Vindolanda tablets, one of the most important finds of military and private correspondence (written on wooden tablets) found anywhere in the Empire."

"The anoxic [lacking dissolved oxygen EVT] conditions at these depths have preserved thousands of artifacts that normally disintegrate in the ground, thus providing an opportunity to gain a fuller understanding of Roman life – military and otherwise – on the northern frontier."

"Vindolanda" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vindolanda

"At Vindolanda the most prized of all finds are the writing tablets as these rare Roman records give a unique insight into the thoughts of Vindolanda's Roman inhabitants."

"The remains of a major bonfire was discovered in the road outside the commander's house in period III, AD 97 to 105. The bonfire contained the charred remains of around 300 writing tablets. They were mainly the correspondence of the Commanding Officer, Flavius Cerialis. It is possible they were being burnt before the garrison left to fight in the Dacian wars. The tablets are made of specially prepared birch and alder wood and the ink writing covers one surface with the address on the opposite side. They are about the size of a modern postcard and about 1 mm thick."

"A combination of factors aid the preservation and superb condition of the finds. The main aid is that the ground has anaerobic conditions, which means that there is no oxygen in the pre-Hadrianic excavation layers. Roman builders spread clay and turf over demolished buildings before starting new building programmes on a previously used site. This effectively capped the underlying layer preserving everything left beneath it. Artefacts like leather, wood, textiles, writing tablets and metal objects survive in near perfect condition."

Answer 2

Are you sure you did not ask this in order to get a rant from Zena E.I just yesterday Read two different Greek Orthodox sites explaining there beliefs. After reading them there is no doubt and any one who reads there site and teachings would agree Zena E is a radical. The differences came about more over use of there respective languages and culture than real theological differences. But there are differences tho mostly minor and can be over come and if the two great Churches were to be one again there is no serious difference that would alter the truth of both. Here is one example they the Orthodox do not teach in a Purgatory as Catholics understand it but they do teach that one must pray for the dead even those in Hell to make there time more tolerable until the Last Judgment. Catholics teach Purgatory is where those still unworthy of Gods presence and still have the stains of sin to pay for do so in Purgatory which Paul describes as the fire of purification and we Catholics are to Pray to make there time there easier or able to leave it faster. This is called between the two as same differences.Another minor difference is a Orthodox Priest can become a married Priest if Married before joining the priest hood but once a Priest must remain Celibate and there Bishops must be Celibate,the Catholic Church discipline is what we all know in the western world as strictly a Celibate Priesthood except in special cases such as a Married Lutheran Pastor Joins the Catholic Church and is accepted into the Priesthood. Also in the Orthodox Church when a baby is Baptized they are immersed three times and are confirmed at the Baptism,the Catholic Church Baptism can be either by immersion or pouring and normally by pouring and confirmation comes at a later age after instructions in the Faith. Both have legitimate masses and Priesthood. We consider the Pope to be head of Christ Church they teach he is in primacy but only first among equals. So contrary to Zena E and her anti Catholic rants the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox and the Pope have been working together for unification but taking it slowly so as to iron out there differences with honest understanding. I hope this helps you recognize how really little differences there are between the two.

Atypical is unique unto itself.
