Reconstruction of scroll case
Reconstruction of a cylindrical case made of leather for papyrus scrolls (capsa).
Few Roman works on papyrus have survived to our times, especially in Latin. This is due to the fact that papyrus was produced in Egypt, and Greek literature was more popular there. If any Roman material survives in Latin, most of it dates from the late Imperial period and is associated with Christianity.
