Auctarium Series Nova
In almost every volume of the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, revisions or supplements interfere with the systematization of the Latin inscriptions. New editions, corrections, annotations, and addenda pertaining to previously published inscriptions make it difficult to keep track. They are, however, the necessary consequence of the growth in the collection of inscriptions from the Roman Empire, a body of material constantly in need of updating. The 150th anniversary of the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum is being marked by the publication of the Index numerorum, which provides the entire corpus with a catalogue of all inscription references that are scattered in diverse publications. The Index is an invaluable resource for the epigrapher wishing to maintain a grasp of nearly 200,000 inscriptions. It also contains cross-references to the publication of inscriptions in the Ephemeris epigraphica, Bücheler's Carmina Latina epigraphica, Dessau's Inscriptiones Latinae selectae, Hübner's Exempla scripturae epigraphicae, the Greek inscriptions documented in Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum and Inscriptiones Graeca, and the Inscriptiones Christianae urbis Romae.
This dictionary catalogues all documentation of Greek personal names known for inhabitants of Rome. In addition to laying theoretical foundations, the author provides a detailed system that gives access to Rome's highly representative Greek onomastic material. Particular strengths of the work are its thorough dating of the inscriptions, its wealth of textual criticism, and its abundance of linguistic and epigraphic observations.
Together with Theodor Mommsen, Hermann Dessau (1856-1931) shaped the course of classical studies at the Prussian Academy of Science for several decades. This volume of papers analyses the conditions under which the Jewish scholar worked, as well as the main topics of his research: the edition and commentary of Latin inscriptions (CIL, ILS), research on the Historia Augusta, prosopography of the Ancient World (PIR) and Roman Imperial history. The papers presented here are supplemented by an edition of his most important academic correspondence.
The 14th International Congress of Greek and Latin Epigraphy focused on the importance of inscriptions as a form of public communication. Topics discussed include the ways that the communicative nature of inscriptions is expressed in the texts themselves and sometimes even more saliently by the monument that bears the inscription. The Acts includes the full text of all the main lectures and summaries of the section contributions.
Praeneste, l'odierna Palestrina, nel Latium vetus ha una lunga storia di comunità indipendente risalente al tempo della Repubblica. In epoca imperiale e nella tarda antichità, la città rimase attraente e vivace: era ben collegata con altre città dell’impero Romano, e il santuario della Fortuna era assiduamente frequentato, come peraltro già lo era stato in epoca repubblicana. Gli oggetti e le iscrizioni presentati in questo volume, dagli specchi alle statue e ai sigilli, attestano tutti i periodi anzidetti. Concentrandosi, tra l'altro, sui siti di ritrovamento e sui gruppi di oggetti, questo volume è molto di più di un resoconto del lavoro preliminare sul previsto fascicolo Praeneste di CIL XIV e di studi puntuali sull'epigrafia di una città del Lazio. Il volume offre infatti un contributo importante e aggiornato alla ricerca archeologica e storica su Palestrina ed è corredato da un importante apparato illustrativo.
In the 1870s, Heinrich Dressel began working on the inscriptions on the amphora found in Rome within the scope of the CIL’s systematic categorization of all ancient Latin inscriptions. His studies still form the valid foundations of the now internationally thriving amphora studies. The archival holdings of the CIL presented in this volume show how this knowledge formed and how innovatively Dressel worked.
The Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (CIL) Auctarium series (part of the Series Nova since 2003) publishes monographs and edited volumes that analyse, provide supplements to, and present preliminary work on the inscription volumes. This volume contains discussions about the eighteenth CIL volume of the Carmina Latina Epigraphica, which is currently in preparation.
An 1899 agreement between the academies of Berlin and Paris intended for the inscriptions found in Delos and Delphi during French excavations to be published within the scope of the Berlin inscription project. Their efforts failed for Delphi but succeeded for Delos, offering an instructive case study in the possibilities and limits of international research collaboration.
Der Auctariumsband bietet eine systematische Untersuchung der im 19. Jh. edierten Inschriften, die unter der Überschrift Tituli reliqui militares jene in Rom gefundenen inschriftlichen Zeugnisse zusammenfasst, die nicht konkret einer bestimmten militärischen Einheit zugeordnet werden konnten (CIL VI 3492–3670). Rund 250 Inschriften werden chronologisch eingeordnet und nach militärischen Rängen gegliedert neu vorgelegt, kommentiert und analysiert.
