Epigraphies of Anatolia their histories and their future Symposium Booklet (original) (raw)

As part of a project to compile all published and unpublished Greek and Latin inscriptions in the Karadeniz Ereğli Museum into a corpus, inscriptions were copied and worked on with the permission of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s General Directorate of Culture Heritage and Museums. These inscriptions are all from Zonguldak Region (Ereğli, Çaycuma/Filyos, Devrek, Gökçebey, Kilimli, Alaplı). In this article, ten previously unpublished Greek funerary inscriptions are presented: eight of them are from ancient Heraclea Pontica and its territorium (Ereğli, Alaplı), and two are from the ancient city of Tios (Tieion, Filyos). All are dated to the Roman Imperial period. SEG 59-1440-1441. Tios/Tieion. Epitaphs, Imperial period. 1. SEG 59 1440 — Epitaph of Senianos. 2. SEG 59 1441 — Epitaph of an unknown person. Edd.pr.
