About Epigraphic Oddities
This group is for the collection and dissemination of photographs of modern inscriptions, graffiti, epigraphs, etc., that represent some error, correction, alteration, or other textual oddity. The idea is that these features are very easy to understand in their context, and can therefore be used as a teaching tool, providing students of Greek and Latin epigraphy with comparative examples and an insight into such features when we come across them in the ancient world.
In other words, photographs of modern inscriptions that can be used to illustrate by comparison features such as correction, damnatio, errors of omission or contamination, differences between underlying cutting and overlying paint or embossing, etc.
While it would not be totally inappropriate also to include here images of ancient inscriptions evidencing these features, this is not the primary focus of the group.
