Only isolated fragments have been preserved of the literary poetry of the Roman Republic. At the same time, the Carmina Latina Epigraphica of this period have been largely neglected by scholars, even though numerous complete epigrams have been preserved. The present volume deals with these texts more comprehensively than any previous study. Leading specialists evaluate the material from the perspectives of philology, ancient history and archaeology. In addition, surveys present a complete documentation of individual regions. The publication is completed by individual interpretations of selected Republican Carmina and views of the Imperial Age with a definite emphasis on critical methodological aspects.
