The Oxford Handbook of Roman Epigraphy: Oxford Handbooks

Editat de Christer Bruun, Jonathan Edmondson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 ian 2015
Epigraphy, or the study of inscriptions, is critical for anyone seeking to understand the Roman world, whether they regard themselves as literary scholars, historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, religious scholars or work in a field that touches on the Roman world from c. 500 BCE to 500 CE and beyond. The Oxford Handbook of Roman Epigraphy is the fullest collection of scholarship on the study and history of Latin epigraphy produced to date. Rather that just a collection of inscriptions, however, this volume seeks to show why inscriptions matter and demonstrate to classicists and ancient historians how to work with the sources. To that end, the 35 chapters, written by senior and rising scholars in Roman history, classics, and epigraphy, cover everything from typograph to the importance of inscriptions for understanding many aspects of Roman culture, from Roman public life, to slavery, to the roles and lives of women, to the military, and to life in the provinces. Students and scholars alike will find the Handbook a crritical tool for expanding their knowledge of the Roman world.

Recenzii

This volume is not just an essential, but also an entertaining tool that will satisfy the interest of a broad audience composed by both militant and amateur epigraphers, curious readers or students.
Authors, editors, and press have taken great pains to produce a remarkably clean text. Such rigor is essential for reliability and assures that this ambitious volume will be a fundamental reference work for those teaching epigraphy or using epigraphic materials in their work for many years to come.
Who should read this book? The short answer is anyone interested in Roman epigraphy and the ancient world. That doesn't just mean professional classicists and archaeologists. It also includes those visitors to Roman sites, who are fascinated by the carvings and inscriptions which they see. Readers with a serious interest in the Roman world will find much to enjoy in this handbook.
The Handbook, looking at the whole Roman world (although weighted towards Latin) has thirty-five thematic chapters, all by different authors, presenting a series of engaging, clear and not overlong discussions of the contribution of epigraphy to aspects of Roman culture
An indispensable guide to why Roman inscriptions matter, and how they relate to every aspect of Roman life.
The authors of this volume, along with its editors, should be commended. Not only do they fulfill their major stated aim, that of explaining why inscriptions are important, but they have also produced chapters that are useful, accessible, up-to-dateand, in their own way, exciting.
