Learning objectives
The course offers an ample introduction to the Latin Epigraphy, to the epigraphical evidence and to methods employed in the epigraphical research.
Furthermore, the analysis of a number of epigraphical documents will provide students with an insight into the political, administrative, social and economic history of ancient Rome.
Expected learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course students are expected to acquire the critical and methodological instruments which are necessary to read and interpret Latin inscriptions, and to employ the most used epigraphical corpuses and inventories. They are also expected to develop abilities to compile an epigraphical file, namely to transcribe, integrate and interpret Latin inscriptions. Such abilities should be employed to reconstruct various aspects of the political, institutional and administrative history of Rome and of other cities of ancient Italy and, more in general, of the Roman Empire
