The Bath curse tablets are a collection of about 130 Roman era curse tablets (or defixiones in Latin) discovered in 1979/1980 in the English city of Bath. The tablets were requests for intervention of the goddess Sulis Minerva in the return of stolen goods and to curse the perpetrators of the thefts. Inscribed mostly in British Latin, they have been used to attest to the everyday spoken vernacular of the Romano-British population of the second to fourth centuries AD. They have also been recognised by UNESCO in its Memory of the World UK Register.

  • Les tablettes de défixion de Bath sont une collection d'environ cent-trente tablettes de défixion romaines (ou defixiones en latin) découvertes en 1979/1980 dans les thermes de la ville anglaise de Bath. Elles invoquent l'intercession de la déesse celte Sulis dans la restitution des biens volés et maudissent les auteurs des larcins. Inscrites surtout en latin vulgaire, elles ont été utilisées pour attester de la langue vernaculaire parlée couramment par la population britto-romaine du IIe au IVe siècles. (fr)
  • Las tablillas de maldición de Bath son un conjunto de unas 130 tablillas de maldición de época romana (o defixiones en latín) descubiertas en 1979-1980 en la ciudad inglesa de Bath. Las tablillas invocan la intercesión de la diosa Sulis Minerva en la devolución de bienes robados y para maldecir a los autores de los robos. Escritas en su mayor parte en latín británico, han servido para atestiguar la lengua vernácula cotidiana de la población romano-británica de los siglos II al IV. También han sido reconocidas por la Unesco en su Programa Memoria del Mundo. (es)
