Reviews

""This generously illustrated book is a welcome publication that should reinvigorate the way in which we read and conceptualize epigraphic texts [...]Since this publication includes essays from the field of epigraphy, philology, and history of art and architecture, it should be of great interest to scholars across ancient disciplines. It represents a wide variety of perspectives, each of them pushing the field of epigraphy forward"". Hanna Golab Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2019.06.28. ""Oltre alla specificità, un altro punto di forza dell'approccio adottato è la sua multidisciplinarità: storia antica, filologia e archeologia, più giustapposte che in dialogo, forniscono un quadro variegato e coprono un'ampia area, sia geograficamente, sia temporalmente. [...] Il volume ha il merito di ricordarci come nello studio di documenti iscritti, accanto all'esercizio dell'epigrafia come scienza storica, sia utile, e addirittura necessario, affrontare il monumento nella sua complessità. Per questo possiamo essere grati agli autori e agli editori."" Filippo Battistoni, Sehepunkte 19 (2019), Nr. 9 [15.09.2019].
