Album of Dated Latin Inscriptions, Part II, TextEdition 1

The second installment of the Album of Dated Latin Inscriptions from Rome and the Neighborhood offers a rich continuation of epigraphical and palaeographical study, covering the period from A.D. 100 to 199. Building on the foundation laid in Part I, this volume intensifies the focus by presenting 102 meticulously selected texts, drawn from 179 inscriptions for which squeezes were made. The inscriptions, many from the city of Rome and its surroundings, offer unique insights into the social, political, and cultural life of the second century. Through careful analysis of stonework and lettering, this collection provides an invaluable resource for scholars looking to deepen their understanding of Latin epigraphy, while maintaining a commitment to accuracy and scholarly rigor. In this volume, the authors address critiques of Part I by improving the clarity between texts and annotations, refining the typographical presentation, and enhancing the organization of the plates. This careful attention to feedback ensures a more accessible and user-friendly experience for researchers. Among the highlights of this collection are rare inscriptions published for the first time, such as a previously unknown praetor's name from the year 121, and additional texts from the Arval Brethren, which pose intriguing questions about the authenticity and chronology of these ancient records. The authors also include several inscriptions of great historical significance, such as the metrical texts and records of important officials from the era, making this volume a critical tool for both seasoned epigraphists and students of Roman history alike.
