Session outline

• The Marmor Parium
• We will discuss one of the epigrams of Julia Balbilla, inscised in the second century on the already-ancient statue of Amenhotep III, and see how digital encoding of this unusual relationship between text and monument, can help to capture both archaeological and advanced linguistic features.
• The Vindolanda tablets
