Publisher's Synopsis
Autobiographic Elements in Latin Inscriptions is a book written by Henry Herbert Armstrong and first published in 1910. The book explores the use of Latin inscriptions as a means of conveying autobiographical information, particularly in the context of the Roman Empire. The author analyzes a variety of inscriptions from different periods and regions, examining the ways in which individuals used these texts to communicate their personal histories, achievements, and identities. The book is divided into chapters that focus on different types of inscriptions, such as epitaphs, dedications, and public inscriptions, and includes detailed discussions of specific examples. Armstrong's analysis is informed by his knowledge of Latin literature and history, and he draws on a range of sources to contextualize the inscriptions he discusses. The book is aimed at scholars and students of classical studies, as well as anyone interested in the use of language and text as a means of self-expression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
