Abstract

Heikki Solin's new book demonstrates just how much we can learn from sources of this sort about the inscriptions in two contrasting Roman collections. Because Solin deals with what he has found as an epigrapher, asking primarily what we can learn about individual inscriptions, historians of collecting might feel that sometimes they are missing the wood for the trees. It remains strange to modern eyes that the most thoroughly documented antiquities in early modern Italian collections - and probably the most thoroughly documented objects of any type - are classical inscriptions.
