About this book
This first part of Album of Dated Latin Inscriptions: Rome and the Neighborhood, Augustus to Nerva by Arthur E. Gordon and Joyce S. Gordon is a groundbreaking palaeographical study that delves into Latin inscriptions dated up to the year A.D. 98. Based on an extensive collection of squeezes and photographs gathered by the authors from Roman museums, this volume seeks to continue the foundational work of renowned scholars like Ritschl and Hiibner. Through a meticulous analysis of stone inscriptions from the Augustan era to the reign of Nerva, the Gordons provide invaluable insights into the development of stone lettering and the transition of writing styles across this pivotal period in Roman history.

The detailed commentary explores the nuances of Roman script, letter formations, punctuation, and even the aesthetic qualities of inscriptions, making it an essential reference for epigraphists and historians alike. Combining high-quality images of stone inscriptions with in-depth scholarly commentary, this volume is a significant contribution to the study of ancient Latin writing and Roman cultural heritage.
