This paper discusses the interaction of the local communities towards writing curse tablets. One of the main issues addressed in this analysis highlights how – compared with the broader scenario of Latin curses found elsewhere in the Roman Empire – these Romano-British documents show a particular feature which is not so frequent elsewhere: the word sanguis. The analysis of the distribution and context of use of sanguis will shed light on the different possible levels of Latinization and to the writing habits in Roman Britain.

Abstract
This paper discusses the interaction of the local communities towards writing curse tablets. One of the main issues addressed in this analysis highlights how – compared with the broader scenario of Latin curses found elsewhere in the Roman Empire – these Romano-British documents show a particular feature which is not so frequent elsewhere: the word sanguis. The analysis of the distribution and context of use of sanguis will shed light on the different possible levels of Latinization and to the writing habits in Roman Britain.
