Posted by: American Academy in Rome
Deadline: Wed, January 31st, 2018

The Summer Program in Latin Epigraphy at the American Academy in Rome is an intensive ten-day course designed to introduce advanced graduate students and early career scholars to the study of Roman epigraphy, particularly the reading, interpretation, and editing of Latin inscriptions from the city of Rome. Participants will learn how to read and classify the main types of Roman inscriptions (on stone, metal, and clay) and how to edit Latin inscriptions, both in print and according to the EpiDoc Guidelines for digital editing of epigraphic texts. Instruction will include hands-on practice in reading and recording inscriptions in the American Academy in Rome; epigraphic walks in Trastevere and the center city; visits to major museum collections (notably those of the Museo Nazionale Romano and Musei Capitolini); and field trips to well-preserved sites on the Janiculum and Vatican with Roman epitaphs and burials in situ. By the end of the course, participants will have learned how to edit unpublished inscriptions and will be able to read and understand most basic types of Latin inscription on stone.
