A NEW METHOD FOR STUDYING THE LETTERING OF INSCRIPTIONS FROM ANCIENT MACEDONIA USING MODERN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Öz
This paper presents the methodological
background and initial results of the research work carried out as part of an
ongoing project, co-financed by the Greek Government and the European Union (MIS 5004509). Although ancient Greek epigraphy
is an important tool for the advancement of historical research and has
repeatedly demonstrated its potential for invigorating classical studies, the
use of inscriptions as source material often poses particular problems for
epigraphists and researchers alike, especially when the text does not provide
reliable chronological criteria other than the style of lettering and letter
form. Recognizing the importance of photographs of securely datable
inscriptions for the study of Greek epigraphy, the project aims at collecting
photographic illustrations for as many securely dated inscriptions from ancient
Macedonia as possible and integrating the material into an easy-to-use
epigraphic database. The usefulness of the database for the study of lettering
in Ancient Macedonia from the 4th century B.C.E onwards is presented with
particular regard to the so-called “First Macedonian District”.
