Content: bibliography of Latin epigraphs. Introduction to CIL. Scripts (capitals, cursive, "actuarial"), ligatures, abbreviations, "interponction," figures, etc.
Common elements to different kinds of inscriptions: tria nomina, signum, agnomen, affiliation, mentioning the tribe, etc. Transmission of the denomination by legitimate, natural, or adoptive affiliation, by emancipation, etc.
The careers: senator, equestrian, mixed, administrative, military, municipal, colonial, etc. Names and titles of emperors and of members of the imperial family. Different types of inscriptions: funerary, sacred, on public buildings, elegies, eulogy ["elogia" must be one or the other: "elegies"= poem about death, while "eulogy" = praise; I suspect it is "eulogy," though the Latin is actually "eulogia"], on instruments, calendars, etc.
