These texts are full of the ‘grinding detail’ that characterises the bureaucratic state. In the case of Vindolanda, this ‘grinding detail’, the precise and detailed communication which writing facilitated, ‘goes a long way to explain how the Roman army exerted such effective control over such large areas with so few troops’ (Bowman 1994)
