Like if there aren’t texts, epigraphy? Oral histories one can plausibly antedate? Visual art? What does “sources” mean?

Yep, was gonna say, I’ve long zoomed in on this poster-within-marquee-shot and you can see the TEF (of GRATEFUL) and part of the EA (of DEAD). Has to be.

Agnone Tablet is an inscription on bronze written in Oscan that dates to the 3rd-1st century BC. It was found near the town of Agnone in Molise, Italy and since 1873 it has been kept in the British Museum. It is inscribed on both sides and has religious texts. #EpigraphyTuesday

I've begun a starter pack for people working in and/or talking about ancient epigraphy/inscriptions. Let me know if I've missed you!

Since it's Epigraphy Tuesday, here's an Athenian stonecutter's workshop in AC Odyssey (don't judge my panoply, throwaway char). Will be using a bit of this for my talk on epigraphy and pedagogy in video games soon.

Man, sometimes I just gotta stop myself to admire it. The Oscan alphabet is just so goddamned cool.

A reminder that I set up a starter pack for epigraphy: go.bsky.app/PmuQYDH, which will give you a few dozen suggestions of people to follow who work on a talk about ancient inscriptions. (Or you can bulk-follow, if you like them all!)

Great #EpigraphyTuesday thread! #epigraphy
It is my last week of teaching at Lancaster (ever!), and I’m feeling nostalgic, so this week I’m celebrating my favourite bits of Roman Lancaster 🥳🏺 First up for #EpigraphyTuesday: this gem of an inscription in Lancaster City Museum. Buckle up for a thread of usurper emperors and confused scholars 🧵

It's Viking Camps #FindsFriday! I've had a few weeks away, with both the Jorvik Festival and half term, so we'll get back to it today... and in honour of yesterday's World Book Day (heavily norse-themed in this household) I thought we'd look at a find with some writing.
This is Torksey DB 1620. /1

Hello to the first goodie for this spring’s Roman epigraphy course.
Sculptor stamped my cold command on it,
now I'm the lifeless king in your sonnet.
See my works, ye mighty, and despair!
There's a pedestal opposite me
covered in epigraphy
that celebrates my grandeur, lacking all humility.

Would anyone be interested in a "One Like, One cool thing drawn from my notes on Greek epigraphy" series ? I know it's barely a thing at this point.

Something new! The Roman praenomen 'Gaius' was originally spelled and pronounced 'Caius' and even after the spelling and pronunciation changed, the standard abbreviation remained C. in epigraphy.
Likewise Gnaeus is abbreviated Cn.
