Latin inscriptions

Latin inscriptions are written texts in the Latin language, often found on monuments, buildings, coins, and artifacts from ancient Rome and its empire. They serve various purposes, such as commemorating individuals, recording events, or displaying religious beliefs. These inscriptions provide valuable insights into Roman culture, history, and language. While many inscriptions are straightforward, others can be poetic or abbreviated, reflecting the values and priorities of the society at the time. Today, scholars study these inscriptions to understand the social, political, and economic aspects of ancient Roman life.
