Dating

The period under consideration ranges from the late first century BC to the early fourth century AD. The span of centuries is bounded by the reforms of Augustus and the reforms of Diocletian and Constantine.

The following types of dating are distinguished:

  1. Inscriptions dated to a specific year or within a span of years less than a century.
  2. Inscriptions dated by centuries.
  3. Inscriptions dated to the Imperial Period (first-third century AD), contrasting with the Hellenistic Period (third-first century BC) and the Late Antique Period (fourth-seventh century AD).
  4. Inscriptions dated between the end of the Hellenistic Period (late first century BC) and the beginning of the Imperial Period (first century AD), or between the end of the Imperial Period (late third century AD) and the beginning of Late Antiquity (fourth century AD).
  5. Inscriptions with uncertain dating between the Hellenistic Period and the Imperial Period or between the Imperial Period and Late Antiquity.
  6. Inscriptions dated with generic terms like Kaiserzeit, Römische Zeit, aetatis imperialis, Imperial Age, époque imperiale, età imperiale, etc., without distinguishing between the Imperial Period and Late Antiquity.
  7. Undated inscriptions.

Based on these types of dating, inscriptions are divided into two groups:

  • A : Inscriptions falling under types 1-4, dateable to the Imperial Age with a reasonable margin of certainty.
  • B : Inscriptions falling under types 5-6, assignable to the Imperial era with a low margin of certainty.
  • C: undated inscriptions (type 7)

P22 dating is expressed using the EDTF property To enhance data querying capabilities, the dating information provided in the editions is converted into numerical values for the inscriptions falling under types 2-5. In these cases, a quotation from the edition containing the dating information accompanies the numerical value. The source of the proposed dating is indicated with P67 dating - source (publication)

Criteria for assigning numerical values to centuries/periods:

centuries/periods numerical values
1st century AD 1-100
1st-3rd century AD 1-300
early 2nd century AD 101-115
first quarter of the 3rd century AD 201-225
second quarter of the 2nd century AD 125-150
first half of the 2nd century AD 101-150
mid-1st century AD 40-60 AD
third quarter of the 1st century AD 150-175 AD
late 2nd century AD 175-200 AD

Object

The type of object is indicated through P10 object  ; all objects are identified by the entity Q37 object.
The material is specified with the qualifier P30 material ; all materials are identified by the entity Q102 material.
The qualifier P32 state of preservation of the object indicates whether the objects is Q113 intact, Q280 broken - complete, Q284 broken - incomplete, Q116 lost.
P69 last recorded location is used to indicate where the object is preserved, mentioning the source through P70 source - publication (used as a reference). Each location constitutes an item where the city (P4), website (P72), and Wikidata item (P45) are indicated.

Text - formal typologies (P52)

The following typologies are distinguished:

In cases where there are two or more metrical inscriptions, or both metrical and prose inscriptions, the order in which the texts appear in reference editions is followed, considering both the length of the text and the type of meter.

Language (P53)

The language of the inscriptions is indicated using P53 language, associated with the items Q644 Greek, Q645 Latin.


Length of the text

The length of the text (P19) is measured using the following units:

All units fall under the subclass Q31 measure of length of a text.
The qualifier P31 state of preservation of the text indicates whether the text is Q105 complete or Q107 incomplete.
The number of lost lines is indicated with the unit lost lines (Q257).

Meter

P8 meter provides information about the metrical structure of the text.
The qualifier P29 type of meter specifies the nature of the type of meter indicated by P8 meter, whether it consists of verses or rhythmic units.

Type of meter (P29):

Layout (P15)

Layout-typologies:

  1. A.1 Layout typologies not based on metrical structure
    A.1a The layout is not based on metrical structure and no attention is paid to word endings (e.g. GVCyr008)
    A.1b The layout is not based on metrical structure and attention is paid to word endings / certain parts of the text are highlighted (e.g. GVCyr051)
  2. A.2 Layout typologies based on metrical structure
    A.2a 1 line = 1 verse (e.g. I.Egypte métriques 26)
    eisthesis (pentameter) (Q828) (e.g. I.Egypte métriques 68)
    A.2b Verses written as prose, with vacat and/or signs (e.g. single point, colon, hedera, diple), which indicate the end of the verse (e.g. IG XIV 2564)
    A.2c Verses arranged on multiple (two/three) lines
    A.2c.1 Verses arranged on two/three lines without eisthesis of the second/third line, with vacat and/or sign to indicate the end of the verse (e.g. IG IX 1², 4, 1498 )
    A.2c.2 Verses arranged on two/three lines with eisthesis of the second/third line and possibly vacat and/or sign to indicate the end of the verse (e.g. IGUR III 1163, I.Mus. Catania 24)
    A.2.c.3 Mixed layout-typologies A.2.c.1-A.2.c.2 (e.g. IG IX 1², 4, 1497)
    A.2c.1-3 cae. Verse division based on the caesuras (this subcategory includes inscriptions that exhibit verse division based on caesuras in at least 50% of the verses, e.g. I.Egypte métriques 49, Steinepigramme 06/02/20, Peek, GVI 588)
  3. A.3 Mixed layout-typologies
    A.3a Mixed layout-typologies based on the metrical structure A.2a-c (e.g. IGUR III 1272)
    A.3b Mixed layout-typologies A.1-A.2c (e.g. I.Egypte métriques 15)

Clients and recipients

The clients and the recipients (Q241) are indicated through P37 client and P38 recipient.

Each client/recipient represents an item labeled with the name of the client/recipient (e.g. Appia Anna Regilla Q699); if the name is unknown, an 'anonymous' item is created (e.g. anonymous Q708).
When it is not possible to determine the clients and the recipients (Q313) undefinable is used.

The characteristics of each client and recipient are indicated based on the following aspects and using the following properties/items:

clients and recipients

If the age is specified in the inscription, use P58 age - year(s), with unit Q762 year(s).
