Departing from the quantitative data specific for Moesia Inferior from the Romans 1 by 1 database, and from the qualitative information from a previous paper, the present work has as goal to provide an overview on the attested family relations types in Moesia Inferior over a period of three centuries, in an attempt to map the corresponding epigraphic habits and specificities. While we are aware that a general approach might seem less prolific, since the specificities of each settlement, as well as of each century are lost in the generalisation, the intention is to contextualise the data and to highlight the general trends, bringing also forward some examples, from which more particular case studies can be further developed.
The present paper has the goal to document the usage of the Romans 1by1, a database which records the people attested in the epigraphic sources coming from the Roman provinces; so far, we have registered Dacia, Moesia Inferior and Moesia Superior in full and are currently working on the epigraphy of Pannonia. The information started to be collected in 2015, and it is still in progress, the intention being to extend the geographical area as much as possible. The database represents an extremely useful resource in the study of ancient population, as well as a very user-friendly research tool, which allows primary browsing and selective, advanced searches alike.
The author presents the results of a research on the population of Augusta Traiana. More precisely, it continues the larger collective project Romans 1 by 1, by collecting and interpreting the data for the abovementioned Roman city. As such, the paper will focus on the epigraphically attested quantitative data on the population of Augusta Traiana, and on the qualitative data, covering the period between the first epigraphic attestations and up to the 3rd century AD. The work includes a prosopographical catalogue with the epigraphically attested population.
