Dear Students, we would like to invite you to the classes “Introduction to Latin epigraphy” which will be held by Dr Florian Matei-Popescu – a specialist on Latin and Greek epigraphy, an archaeologist and historian dealing with the history and archaeology of the Roman army, especially in the Balkans and the Black Sea region. Dr Matei-Popescu is an author of almost 100 publications and the co-editor of “The Journal of Epigraphic Studies” (Pisa & Roma), “Acta Musei Napocensis”, “Studies and Researches of Ancient History and Archaeology (Studii și Cercetări de Istorie Veche și Arheologie).
The online classes will be partly held from the museum where the inscribed stones are preserved in a special lapidarium – the open air exhibition. Good knowledge of Latin is not needed. During the course the students will be shown the type of epigraphic document and its material support and how to work with inscription in a field, how to read, translate and interpret the basic formulas on the standard inscriptions from the early Roman period.
The classes will be held within the University’s Integrated Development Programme (ZIP), co-funded by the European Social Fund within PO WER, Action 3.5.

Principal investigators: prof. dr hab. Tadeusz Sarnowski†, dr hab. Agnieszka Tomas
Name of the site: Novae
Country: Bulgaria
Partner institutions: Faculty of Archaeology University of Warsaw and the National Institute of Archaeology Bulgarian Academy of Sciences with the Museum
Type of the site: Roman legionary camp (castra legionis), civil settlement (canabae legionis) and late Roman town.
Chronology: 1st-6th century AD
The large project “Novae – the heart of the legion. Socialization and exhibition of the Roman military camp and late Antique town of Novae” (situated on the lower Danube in modern northern Bulgaria), co-financed by the European Commission within the Operational Programme Regional Development, was proceeded in 2012-2013 by engineering earth and construction works accompanied by a small rescue excavation campaign in the central part of the legionary fortress, on the site of the headquarters building (principia) of the 1st Italic legion, stationed at Novae from about AD 72 to the first half of the 5th century AD. During these works and excavations of 2013 there were found more than twenty statue bases with Greek and Latin inscriptions dated to the 2nd to 5th century AD and some Latin building inscriptions. At our disposal there are at the moment also about thirty other inscribed stones, mostly published, and more than one hundred, published and unpublished fragmentary statue bronzes.
The main objective of this project is to complete documentation of newly discovered inscriptions, to improve the documentation of older finds according to current standards and to prepare their publication. It has to provide maximum information about the palaeography of inscriptions and dedication formulae, time, place, circumstances, reasons of setting up statues of gods and emperors, and sometimes even financing the monument, altars, building or its dependencies, most probable material used to create statues, their size, types of sculptural representation and in some cases even the statue’s physical appearance, names, origin, social status and rank of the dedicators, place and role of the represented deity in the camp religion and in religious cults practiced in the province of Lower Moesia and in the whole lower Danubian region.
Project title/financial support: “In medio castrorum. Sculptural and epigraphic landscape of the central part of the legionary fortress at Novae”, NCN, OPUS 11, nr UMO-2016/21/B/HS3/00030, planned period of realization 02.02.2017 – 01.02.2021.
