How to dye naturally beewax? How many colors, especially for tablets, Romans had used?
For the black, I need charcoal.
But what do I need for red color to make it accurate?
And what others colors were in use? Green? Blue?
I want to use same ways for dying like Romans, not our modern ways to dye beewax.
Use any suitable natural pigments these can be obtained from any good artists suppliers, the method is called Encaustic (wax) Painting...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
