Die römischen Grabdenkmäler aus dem Siedlungsgebiet der Treverer sind in vielerlei Hinsicht exzeptionell. Sie bilden sowohl aufgrund ihres Anteils am erhaltenen Denkmälerbestand als auch ihres charakteristischen Erscheinungsbildes eine wichtige Fundgruppe und haben einen hohen Stellenwert für die Erforschung der kaiserzeitlichen Kunst und Architektur im Moselraum. Die Beiträge in diesem Tagungsband geben einen Überblick zu aktuellen Forschungen, stellen neues Material vor und demonstrieren an konkreten Fallbeispielen die Anwendung innovativer methodischer Zugänge. Erstmals wird dabei das gesamte Treverergebiet mitsamt den benachbarten Regionen in den Blick genommen und in überregionaler Perspektive behandelt.

The diversity and wealth of epigraphic cultures in the late Roman Empire is the main focus of this volume. It offers a wide-ranging overview over the geographic and typological diversity of late antique epigraphy and explores the many ways in which people reacted to inscriptions and the monuments connected with them. Particularly the "epigraphic habit", e.g. the complex network of making and using inscriptions, is looked at from different angles. This helps to understand the various political, cultural and religious structures characterized by it. The first part is dedicated to the study of the "epigraphic habit" in different parts of the Roman Empire and presents detailed quantitative analyses. The second part centers on various genres of inscriptions as well as on associated practices. In a third part "Christian epigraphy", i.e. the impact of Christianity on the antique epigraphic culture, is addressed. A range of maps, charts and figures illustrate the studies and facilitate comparison.

About 130 Latin inscriptions shine a fascinating light on the medium-sized Roman town of Grumentum in ancient Lucania. Most of these stones have hardly been studied since the end of the 19th century. They now for the first time appear in a scholarly edition with revised Latin text, illustration, apparatus criticus, translation and extensive commentary. Both the introduction and the edition illustrate the richness of the material: archaeology, politics, institutions, the Roman army, economy, religion, family and life course, and Christianity are dealt with. The use learned scholars made of the inscriptions opens a window to Italian intellectual history from the Renaissance on. Written and presented in an accessible way, this volume avoids the pitfalls of highly technical epigraphical editions, and opens the field to archaeologists, (ancient) historians and a more general audience with an interest for Roman sites in general, and this hidden gem in Basilicata in particular.
