Abstract
Right after Rome, the ancient city of Ostia is the archaeological site where the most considerable number of Latin inscriptions has been discovered. After the publication of the XIV volume of the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (1887) and the Supplementum Ostiense (1930), a significant number of new inscriptions was brought to light during the “Grandi Scavi 1938-1942”, the majority of which remained unpublished. About ten years ago, a group of Italian and French researchers started a project for the systematic edition of this evidence. This publication, which is the result of the project, was first issued in 2018. It counted more than 2000 new funerary Latin inscriptions, discovered in Ostia and currently preserved there (plus 168 lost inscriptions). Following the modern standards of edition, the volume represents a remarkable contribution to the knowledge of the onomastics, the families of the city, and the iura sepulchrorum. For each inscription, a high-quality picture is provided. The second part of the book consists of the index, which adopts the traditional thematic classification. The volume is completed by a short bibliography, an index of the published inscriptions, and the inventory of the inscriptions. The second edition presented here is an update of the 2018 volume, with a Supplement at the end of the main catalogue. In addition to some recovered inscriptions or new readings of previously lost inscriptions, it contains numerous connections between fragments which had been considered separately, as well as bibliographical complements. Moreover, thirty new entries for texts previously omitted have been appended. Indexes and correspondences have been completely revised accordingly.
