Notes on the Family Links From Lower Moesia

Abstract

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.
