Le iscrizioni musive delle catacombe romane: censimento, caratteri e formulari

Federica Tagliatesta, Domenico Benoci

Abstract


Our understanding of mosaic inscriptions in the Roman catacombs is significantly restricted due
to the precarious state of preservation and the challenges associated with locating them. In recent
years, a comprehensive review of existing documentation on the catacombs has enabled us to update
the count of testimonials for each cemetery complex in the city’s suburbs. This has also allowed
us to formulate new considerations regarding the original locations of the inscriptions, the
chronology, the execution techniques, and the materials used in their creation, as well as the characteristics
of some of the texts.

Keywords: Late Antiquity, Mosaic inscriptions, Roman catacombs.
