Latin Inscriptions from Albania

Latin Inscriptions from Albania
Status: in preparation (description as of November 2007)

This project is located at the Kommission für Alte Geschichte und Epigraphik of the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut in Munich and was undertaken in preparation for a second edition of CIL III. Initial work by Dirk Kossmann and Rudolf Haensch in 2007 was financed by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft as part of an excavation project at Lissus in northern Albania. In 2008, the Kommission will fund the second and final part by means of a contract. This work will make available online the Latin inscriptions of Albania, which are often only documented at present in obscure publications. Wherever possible, the texts will be illustrated with good photos. The collection comprises approximately 180 inscriptions, of which about 115 have been worked on to date. They will be published on the website of the Kommission für Alte Geschichte und Epigraphik.
