    Best Wishes for a Happy Birthday, Bing! Here's what a Birthday party invitation looked like in Roman Britain, AD 97-103. From the time of Trajan at Vindolanda, a fort along the frontier where Hadrian built his wall.

    Claudia Severa writing her sister, Lepidina:

    "Claudia Severa to her Lepidina greetings. On 11 September, sister, for the day of the celebration of my birthday, I give you a warm invitation to make sure that you come to us, to make the day more enjoyable for me by your arrival, if you are present. Give my greetings to your Cerialis. My Aelius and my little son send him their greetings. I shall expect you sister. Farewell, sister my dearest soul, as I hope to prosper, and hail."
