Indexes are invaluable tools for navigating scholarly works, and the Album of Dated Latin Inscriptions addresses this need by providing comprehensive, user-friendly indexes. In contrast to other epigraphical publications, which often lack thorough or complete indexing, this volume goes beyond organizing inscriptions by names, offering specific words, abbreviations, and symbols to track linguistic and epigraphical trends across centuries. With a clear chronological arrangement, it allows scholars to detect shifts, such as the evolution of abbreviations like K. to Kal. for Kalendae, with greater ease. While some specialized epigraphical and grammatical indexes have been omitted to streamline the publication, the indexes provided are based on firsthand examination of the inscriptions, ensuring a high level of accuracy. This makes the Album an indispensable resource for epigraphers, historians, and linguists alike, enabling detailed exploration of new Latin terms, specific individuals, and shifts in inscriptional styles.
