In the project "Re-Writing Cityscapes in Late Antique Asia Minor: Religious, Civic, and Imperial Agencies in Public Epigraphies of Ephesos and Aphrodisias" (RCLA), I will study inscriptions in public spaces in Aphrodisias and Ephesos-two major cities of late antique (3rd-7th c. AD) Asia Minor from a new perspective not attempted so far. These inscriptions were among the key elements of urban spaces, and at the forefront of social and religious changes engendered by the arrival of Christianity as the socially dominant, imperially-sponsored faith. They were located in central urban areas such as porticoed streets, agoras, civic and, increasingly, cultic Christian basilicas, or covered enclosed religious spaces in devotional graffiti. A variety of genres existed-from inscribed imperial pronouncements to honorific and to funerary epigraphy. These inscriptions (predominantly in Greek, but also in Latin) gave voice to an impressive range of social actors within the two cities, and powerfully contributed to the lived experience of city dwellers within urban spaces.

在项目“重写古代小亚细亚晚期的城市景观：以弗所和阿佛洛狄西亚公共墓志铭中的宗教，公民和帝国机构”（RCLA）中，我将研究阿佛洛狄西亚和以弗所的公共空间中的铭文-两个古代晚期的主要城市（公元3 - 7世纪）。公元）小亚细亚从一个新的角度没有尝试过。这些铭文是城市空间的关键元素之一，也是基督教作为社会主导、帝国支持的信仰的到来所引发的社会和宗教变革的前沿。它们位于市中心地区，如有门廊的街道、集市、市民教堂，以及越来越多的基督教教堂，或者用虔诚的涂鸦覆盖封闭的宗教空间。各种类型的铭文，从皇帝的公告，以荣誉和丧葬金石。这些铭文（主要是希腊语，也有拉丁语）表达了两个城市中令人印象深刻的社会行为者的声音，并有力地促进了城市居民在城市空间中的生活体验。
