Softcover. Condición: Good +. No markings, annotations, or inscriptions. Internally fine. (Please note: there is a 'Damaged' stamp to the copyright page, but the book is complete and as described. Presumably it was once remaindered and withdrawn from stock.) Clean and robust cover, showing some notable shelf wear (e.g. rubbing to the spine ends and the corners, short surface chip to the front binding edge). There is no creasing at all to the spine. Thus: a very good reading or study copy, clean and unmarked throughout, beneath a sturdy but visibly rubbed cover. xxii, 531pp. Illustrated. Nº de ref. del artículo: 5202

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This book advances our understanding of the place of Latin inscriptions in the Roman world. It enables readers, especially those new to the subject, to appreciate both the potential and the limitations of inscriptions as historical source material, by considering the diversity of epigraphic culture in the Roman world and how it has been transmitted to the twenty-first century. The first chapter offers an epigraphic sample drawn from the Bay of Naples, illustrating the dynamic epigraphic culture of that region. The second explores in detail the nature of epigraphic culture in the Roman world, probing the limitations of traditional ways of dividing up inscriptions into different categories, and offering examples of how epigraphic culture developed in different geographical, social and religious contexts. It examines the 'life-cycle' of inscriptions - how they were produced, viewed, reused and destroyed. Finally, the third provides guidance on deciphering inscriptions face-to-face and handling specialist epigraphic publications. A thorough and up-to-date introduction for anyone who wishes to appreciate the contribution of Latin inscriptions to our understanding of Roman history in all its aspects, whether social, political, economic or cultural. Technical guidance is also provided on deciphering inscriptions face-to-face and handling specialist epigraphic publications. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9780521549547
