This workshop will read and discuss inscriptions and epigraphic writings from the Roman world. This is non-literary Latin, the writing that was not published--or read--in ancient books.
We will look at the actual Latin-sometimes the actual stones-and learn some tricks for deciphering them, but everything will be translated.
The focus will be on those personal/public messages and what they tell us about Roman life. All material will be available here at epigraphyatolli.pbworks.com. which will be updated each week by the Thursday following the session.
Join us and discover the last farewell of a cross-section of Romans.
