THE LATIN EPIGRAPH AS A DIDACTIC ELEMENT (XXXVIII) AN ENIGMATIC ROMAN MONUMENT

The study of a Roman epigraph can give us a very real image of the Roman life. In fact, the Roman literary texts show us a daily existence presented to the people of this time; a Roman epigraph was made to the present, we know, but, specially, to the future. An example is done to explain that, even because it's a Roman votive altar with decoration and the deity's name is shown with merely a letter - a challenge for the epigraphist.
