Research: Sacred Inscriptions from Roman Arabia

This research aims to investigate the religious life of Roman Arabia through the lens of epigraphy. It will therefore provide an annotated catalogue of Greek and Latin sacred inscriptions. The project seeks to produce a new edition of these texts, accompanied by an up-to-date epigraphic and historical commentary in dialogue with literary sources. Particular attention will be devoted to the survival of pre-Roman cults and, at the same time, to the religious consequences of Hellenization and Romanization. The research will also highlight the prosopography of the dedicants and the implications of their religious and linguistic choices.

Keywords: Greek Epigraphy; Latin Epigraphy; Roman Arabia; Religions of the Roman World
