Excerpt from Latin Historical Inscriptions: Illustrating the History of the Early Empire The greater part of the inscriptions are taken from the Corpus and reproduce the text there given with small modifications, such as the occasional omission of frag mentary lines or letters which would only confuse the learner and add nothing to the historical information. The appearance of the inscriptions in the Corpus has also been imitated as far as possible by the use of capitals, but it must be remembered that the representations are only approximate and must not be thought of as facsimiles of the originals. The longer documents have been printed in ordinary type, the arrangement of the lines in the original being preseed in order to facilitate reference. The inscriptions are supplemented by a certain number of coins. The text is that of Cohen, and the reference to Eckhel has been added where the coin was described by him.
