British Epigraphy SocietyAdd to your list(s) Send you e-mail reminders British Epigraphy Society Conference – Inscriptions and Construction Saturday 20th November: Old Library, Darwin College, Cambridge British Epigraphy Society Conference – Inscriptions and Construction Many of the inscriptions from the Greek and Roman worlds are related to the processes of constructing those worlds: the naming of benefactors, awarding of contracts, listing construction work still to be done, laying out of plans, etc. Such inscriptions play a crucial role not just in revealing the processes of ancient building and the socio-economic worlds of those involved in building them, but also in the formation of the perception and meaning of the structures themselves, as well as of the politics and economics that surrounded them at the time of their construction, repair and eventual decay.
