Album of Dated Latin Inscriptions, Part III, Text

📖 The Scoop

The third and final installment of the Album of Dated Latin Inscriptions: Rome and the Neighborhood, A.D. 200-525 brings together a remarkable collection of 105 inscriptions spanning over three centuries. This volume covers a more extensive period than its predecessors, which were focused on shorter timeframes, reflecting the scarcity of suitable third-century inscriptions and the editors' deliberate selection of key texts from the fourth and fifth centuries. This collection provides invaluable insights into the Roman Empire's evolving epigraphical landscape, including the rise of Christian inscriptions, as well as inscriptions of major historical and prosopographical importance. Key features include newly published inscriptions and additional Arval texts, as well as comprehensive analysis of re-used stones, offering readers a unique look into the reuse of materials in Roman inscriptions.

In keeping with the high standards set in Parts I and II, this volume includes key improvements such as streamlined formatting and detailed annotations that offer readers a deeper understanding of these historic artifacts. With inscriptions from Rome, Ostia, Praeneste, and other key sites, as well as notable pieces dedicated to emperors, senators, and other historical figures, Part III is an essential resource for anyone studying the late Roman Empire, epigraphy, or Latin paleography. This work not only completes a monumental project but also expands our understanding of Roman social, religious, and political history during the Empire’s later centuries.
