Another question that occurred to me is how the Romans would have been
likely to set up their TW - between vertical posts as in the Virgin Mary
pictures, pegs in the ground, with a backstrap, or ... ?  Also, is there
any evidence that warp spreaders were used that early?
 
Jenny, I am unaware of any evidence -- from digs, in manuscripts, etc. -- that tell us how the Romans did their tablet weaving.  Sure would like to find some, however!
