Synopsis
Six contributions from Bodel (classics, Rutgers U.) and other scholars discuss the analysis of inscribed texts and their significance in the study of ancient Greek and Roman culture. Coverage includes, for example, Greek dialects, vernacular Latin, and what inscriptions reveal about the ancient family, religious life, and the economy. The text is illustrated with b&w photos of epigraphs.
