Monument und Inschrift

One of the most important forms of senatorial representation was a monument embellished with an inscription. Inscription and monumentwere always intimately related, so that epigraphy and the study ofancient historyare challenged to workmore closely with archaeology. Only in this way is it possible to establish a correct understanding of how senators represented themselves.Therefore, the articles collected in this volume create the basis for a new viewpoint of the social and cultural history of the senatorial order under the Roman Empire.
