Epigraphy Studies

The book is structured to guide readers through the core principles and methodologies of epigraphic analysis, and then progresses to specific case studies from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and Mesopotamia. These examples illustrate the challenges and rewards of working with epigraphic material, such as deciphering ancient writing systems and understanding the socio-political context of their creation.

This approach emphasizes that inscriptions are not merely texts, but objects embedded within specific cultural contexts, offering a more holistic understanding of the past.
