Epigraphic Evidence: Ancient History From Inscriptions (History of Linguistics)
Editorial Reviews
Review
This work is everything that it claims to be -- a selective but solid introduction to the world of inscriptions and what they can reveal about specific aspects of ancient life. In less than 250 pages Epigraphic Evidence offers a useful and highly readable account of the remarkable diversity of our inscriptional patrimony from the Graeco-Roman world and the challenges confronting the modern investigator who must rely on such evidence.

Book Description
Inscriptions are a rich source of information about ancient Greek and Roman culture. Yet the constantly increasing mass of available material, and the specialized conventions of epigraphic editing and publication, can make the study of these crucial documents intimidating for the non-specialist. This readable and fully-illustrated study thoroughly demystifies epigraphic evidence.
