Documents inscribed on durable media—stone, wood, ceramics, and metals—constitute the most abundant written sources of Antiquity. Constantly renewed, they are studied by a discipline that is itself undergoing upheaval: epigraphy. This book brings together studies that take stock of its methods, achievements, and the challenges that await it in the 21st century. It is the result of the 16th International Congress that brought together specialists in this discipline, historians, philologists, archaeologists, and digital humanities specialists, in Bordeaux. The first assessment of its kind, it should serve as a guide for the decades to come.
