The Romans commemorated many different events with inscriptions,
and not just carved in stone: they are found also on such materials
as bronze, wood, mosaic, glass and pottery. They range from the
official and highly formulaic to the ordinary and personal.
Lawrence Keppie introduces the non-specialist to the subject of
inscriptions and provides clear guidance towards translating the
Latin texts. Reading the text is only part of interpretation,
however, and this book also gives an account of the other aspects
needed for a full understanding of inscriptions. The author covers
such subjects as local government; the armies and frontiers;
religion; the titles of emperors; business and commerce; as well as
the craft of stonecutting, developments in the alphabet and the
discovery and publication of material.
