Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and indexes
"This book advances our understanding of the place of Latin inscriptions in the Roman
world. It enables readers, especially new to the subject, to appreciate both the potential
and the limitations of inscriptions as historical source material. By considering
the diversity of epigraphic culture in the Roman world, and how it has been transmitted
to the twenty-first century. The first chapter offers an epigraphic sample drawn from
the Bay of Naples, illustrating the dynamic epigraphic culture of that region. The
second explores in detail the nature of epigraphic culture in the Roman world, probing
the limitations and traditional ways of dividing up inscriptions into different categories,
and offering examples of how epigraphic culture developed in different geographical,
social, and religious contexts. It examines the 'life-cycle' of inscriptions -- how
they were produced, viewed, reused, and destroyed. Finally, the third provides guidance
on deciphering inscriptions face-to-face and handling specialist epigraphic publications"--Publisher's
