About This Book

The text presents a first-person funerary inscription offering an official summary of a ruler's public life, listing offices held, military and diplomatic actions, legislative measures, public benefactions, and building projects. This edition reproduces the original Latin text alongside a Greek translation and an English rendering, and it includes a historical introduction recounting the inscription's discovery and transmission. Philological notes, textual variants, and a bibliography accompany the texts, with the Greek often supplying readings where the Latin is damaged and the commentary explaining emendations and interpretive choices for students and scholars.
