Roman stone monuments – with or without relief decoration – are among our most important sources of ancient times. This is also the case with public life in Roman provinces. Usually contents of such Latin inscriptions remain largely concealed to observers. In order to demonstrate the richness of information contained in these “Roman stones” an one-week summer course in September 2012 is organized by an international team of epigraphists (s. Program). Students of Antiquity, grammar school teachers, employees of cultural institutions and Antiquity enthusiasts are cordially invited.

Based upon selected inscriptions from the province of Dalmatia – concentrated on Murter (Colentum), Skradin (Scardona) and Bribirska glavica (Varvaria) – an introduction into Latin epigraphy will be offered. This course also offers a widely conceived interpretation of sources aided by trans-media text testimony and other manuals, as well as an additional opportunity of getting acquainted with correct documentation/editing of this kind of ancient monuments. The visits to the archaeological sites from which the inscriptions came, and to museums in which they are kept, are offered within the Program.
