This book advances our understanding of the place of Latin
inscriptions in the Roman world beyond the vague concept of 'the
epigraphic habit'. It enables readers 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 21st 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 of 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.
