It aims to provide scholars with a flexible digital tool to search the inscriptions in their spatial context. Thus, the project spans epigraphy and archaeology.<br /> <br /> Both textual and figural graffiti (hand-sketched drawings) are available. <br /> <br /> More than 500 ancient graffiti are now searchable. These include more than 300 from Herculaneum and nearly 200 from Pompeii (from the Lupanar, Insula I.8, and other locations).<br /> <br /> ===Search platform===<br /> <br /> The project website provides a sophisticated search engine that allows users to conduct a range of queries, including searches based on the location of the graffiti (&quot;Search by Map&quot;), by the type of property (e.g. public building, house, workshop), category of drawing (e.g. animals, boats, geometric designs), writing style, content of the inscription, and more.<br /> <br /> ===Interoperability===<br /> <br /> The epigraphical database and the search platform are interoperable with the [[Electronic Archive of Greek and Latin Epigraphy (EAGLE)|EAGLE]] epigraphic database, the EDR ([[Epigraphic Database Roma]]) and the [[EAGLE Europeana Network]].<br /> <br /> ==Publications==<br /> <br /> ==External resources==<br /> <br /> * Project home page: [http://agp.wlu.edu/ http://agp.wlu.edu]<br /> * R.
