Corpus of the Greek and Latin Inscriptions of Ankara (Turkey) to AD 300

古安西拉是现代土耳其首都安卡拉的罗马和拜占庭式的前身，是罗马东方最重要的城市之一。这项研究旨在制作安卡拉所有希腊和拉丁文铭文的全面和权威版本的第一卷，总共约500个，结合公元第一个千年安卡拉历史的其他证据。这些文本包括所有罗马铭文中最著名的，第一位皇帝奥古斯都的成就，这是现代研究罗马帝国的基石之一。安卡拉还有许多其他重要的文本组，它们记录了安卡拉在公元2世纪和3世纪从凯尔特人加拉提亚人的部落中心转变为罗马纪念碑城市的过程。驻扎在安卡拉或经过该市的罗马士兵的许多铭文是罗马在东部战役的宝贵信息来源。其他文本记录了城市的机构以及罗马和地方统治精英成员的活动。这些铭文说明了拉丁语和希腊语的使用，包括希腊语言在安纳托利亚中部一千年来的发展。

Ancient Ancyra, the Roman and Byzantine precursor of Ankara, the capital of modern Turkey, was one of the most important cities of the Roman East. This research is designed to produce the first volume of a comprehensive and authoritative edition of all the Greek and Latin inscriptions of the city, around 500 in all, combined with other evidence for Ankara's history in the first millennium AD. These texts include the most famous of all Roman inscriptions, the Res Gestae (achievements) of the first emperor, Augustus, which is one of the foundation stones for modern study of the Roman empire. There are many other important groups of texts from Ankara, which document its transformation from a tribal centre of the Galatians, a Celtic people, into a monumental Roman city during the second and third centuries AD. Numerous inscriptions for Roman soldiers who were stationed in Ankara or who passed through the city are an invaluable source of information for Roman campaigns in the East. Other texts document the institutions of the city and the activities of members of the Roman and local governing elites. The inscriptions illustrate the use of both Latin and Greek, including the development of the Greek language in central Anatolia over a period of a thousand years.
