"The purpose of this edition is to take up Buecheler’s admirable sylloge of Carmina Latina Epigraphica (1895-1926, 3 volumes). Since 1926 many new Latin metrical inscriptions and graffiti have been discovered, which greatly increased the number of epigraphic poetic texts previously known. These inscriptions have to be collected in order to be easily found, known and noticeable; the present sylloge aims at this outcome. An essential apparatus criticus with textual, historical, metrical, linguistic, and stylistic notes (approximately as in Buecheler’s edition) accompanies the edition of the texts. The texts are collected in three sections; the first and major section includes the carmina epigraphica whose metrical nature is undoubted, the second includes the commatica and the texts of dubious nature, the third one the aliena. In sections one and two the texts are arranged essentially according to the diatopic distribution and, inwards, to the chronological one. A concise preface focuses the most important questions in the field of the Latin metrical epigraphy. Many indexes conclude the work in two volumes, comprising about 1600 texts."

"This volume brings together a series of essays in which the authors discussed the concept of epigraphic forgery and the difference between forgery and counterfeiting in the light of the creation and implementation of a database entirely devoted to nongenuine inscriptions, that is, Greek and Latin inscriptions made in the post-classical period by looking, with malicious or simply imitative intent, at models from the Roman period. The contributions, born out of the need to make a theoretical database model dialogue with the needs of use, show the inevitable criticalities of the computer system but also how the upstream effort to go back to work on the syllogies, manuscript and printed, and to go to see the inscriptions in private collections and museums has allowed the discovery of unexpected contacts among the authors of the "forgeries," sometimes the identification of new forgers or the rehabilitation of those who were thought to be such, the interest in unexplored but important eras for the study of the phenomenon. Above all, the creation and implementation of the database has shown how to study epigraphic forgery requires networking and interweaving the research of scholars working in different territories and eras, putting in their hands an investigative tool adapted to the needs of the Digital Humanities" -- publisher.

"This book, built around the study of the representation of age and identity in 23,000 Latin funerary epitaphs from the Western Mediterranean in the Roman era, sets out how the use of age in inscriptions, and in turn, time, varied across this region. Discrepancies between the use of time to represent identity in death allow readers to begin to understand the differences between the cultures of Roman Italy and contemporary societies in North Africa, Spain, and southern Gaul. The analysis focuses on the timescapes of cemeteries, a key urban phenomenon, in relation to other markers of time, including the Roman invention of the birthday, the revering of the dead at the Parentalia and the topoi of life's stages. In doing so, the book contributes to our understanding of gender, the city, the family, the role of the military, freed slaves, and cultural change during this period. The concept of the timescape is seen to have varied geographically across the Mediterranean, bringing into question claims of cultural unity for the Western Mediterranean as a region. Mediterranean Timescapes is of interest to students and scholars of Roman history and archaeology, particularly that of the Western Mediterranean, and ancient social history"--
