Chapters examine epigraphic culture(s) through quantitative analysis of 32,062 inscriptions sampled from ten areas in the Eastern Mediterranean from the Black Sea coast to Greece, western and central Asia Minor, Phoenicia and Egypt. They show that the shapes of the epigraphic curves are due to different factors occurring in different geographical areas and in various epochs, including the pre-Greek epigraphic habit, the moment of urbanization and Hellenization, and the organized Roman presence. Two epigraphic maxima are identified in the Eastern Mediterranean: in the third c. BCE and in the second c. CE. It differs from previous studies of the ancient epigraphic culture by taking into account all categories of inscriptions, not just epitaphs, and in investigating a much broader area over the broadly defined classical antiquity. This volume is a valuable resource for anyone working on ancient epigraphy, history or the cultures of the Eastern Mediterranean"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Inscriptions, Greek $z Mediterranean Region. 650 0 $a Inscriptions, Latin $z Mediterranean Region. 651 0 $a Mediterranean Region $x Antiquities. 650 7 $a Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 $a Inscriptions, Greek. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973878 650 7 $a Inscriptions, Latin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973901 651 7 $a Mediterranean Region. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239752 700 1 $a Nawotka, Krzysztof, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Epigraphic culture in the Eastern Mediterranean in antiquity $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2020. $z 9781003025306 $w (DLC) 2020012484 830 0 $a Routledge monographs in classical studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317024945.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B24EF35ECF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
