Abstract

The article discusses the purpose, design and development of an epigraphical database created for a dissertation project with the title "Hellenisation of Ancient Thrace". The database has been populated with epigraphic data from a geographic area broadly conceived as falling within Ancient Thrace in a manner that crosses national and linguistic boundaries, and with an emphasis on the spatio-temporal attributes of individual inscriptions.

The database makes possible the quantified analysis of more than 4000 inscriptions and their attributes, and is available for use and reuse by other scholars in epigraphy, philology, archaeology and other disciplines.
