“…Having mentioned Berbers I should like to call attention to the flood of light thrown on a less romanized group of them, the men who produced the inscriptions in Latin script but apparent gibberish, known as Latino-Libyan texts, by Professor Levi della Vida's discovery that in Tripolitania their language was Punic 36 (which, if true over a wider area of Africa, would vindicate the literal accuracy of St. Augustine when he identified the African language with Punic).…”

JSTOR is a not-for-profit service that helps scholars, researchers, and students discover, use, and build upon a wide range of content in a trusted digital archive. We use information technology and tools to increase productivity and facilitate new forms of scholarship. For more information about JSTOR, please contact support@jstor.org.. Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies is collaborating with JSTOR to digitize, preserve and extend access to The Journal of Roman Studies.In the past five years there have appeared a number of collections of inscriptions relevant to Roman studies and a number of collected discussions of such inscriptions, and it may be useful to record the more important of these, though without comment except where the titles are insufficiently indicative of content, for they have been, or will be, the subject of reviews. Regional corpora: G. Mihailov, Inscriptiones graecae in Bulgaria repertae vol. III, fasc. i, giving texts from Philippopolis (I96I) ; G. Sotgi"u, Iscrizioni latine della Sardegna (I96I); W. M. Calder and J. M. R. Cormack, MAMA viii, giving texts from Lycaonia, the Pisido-Phrygian borderland and Aphrodisias (I962); A. Degrassi, ILLRP vol. II (I963); A. and J. Sasel, Inscriptiones latinae quae in fugoslavia inter annos MCMXL et MCMLX repertae sunt (I963); P. Wuilleumier, Inscriptions latines des Trois Gaules (I963); R. G. Collingwood and R. P. Wright, Roman Inscriptions of Britain vol. I (I965). Specialised corpora: H. Zilliacus, Sylloge inscriptionum Christianarum veterum Musei Vaticani (I963); A. Degrassi, Inscriptiones Italiae vol. xiii, fasc. 2, Fasti anni Nurnani et luliani, Ferialia, Menologia Rustica, Parapegmata (I965); M. H. Callander, Roman Amphorae, with an index of stamps on amphorae in the Western provinces (I965). (1963). One might also mention here H. G. Pflaum's Les Carri&resprocuratoriennes equestres sous le haut-empire romain (I960) and the Acta Instituti Romani Finlandiae from I963 onwards, largely devoted to epigraphic studies.An enormous number of individual inscriptions has been newly discovered or newly interpreted, witness the size of the volumes of Al? (now, one hopes, on its feet again after a bad moment at the death of its devoted editor, Professor Merlin) and, to some extent, of SEG. In selecting items here, I have often had to make an embarrassing choice. I am well aware too that I have not seen all that have come out and that I have failed to grasp the significance of many that I have read. This selection is, like its predecessor in I960, based essentially on a personal assessment of priorities.' Archaic Italy. Of all recent discoveries, the most exciting is that of the gold tablets of Pyrgi (Santa Severa), one in Punic and two in Etruscan, of which the longer is closely parallel to the Punic text. They were published with admirable promptitude-which deserves an expression of gratitude and which one could only wish more common-by Professors Pallottino and Garbini,2 and are already clocking up a considerable bibliography.3 While many points of tr...
