Featured Article: Inscriptions

Inscriptions are words that have been carved into stone and displayed in public locations and are a sub-set of material culture. They usually display historical or religious messages, but can also serve as memorials. Typically written in old Venetian or pseudo-Latin, inscriptions were often produced to commemorate a prominent person or significant event.
