This is the first publication of nine inscriptions from the 1998-2002 excavations of the valetudinarium at Novae. They came, however, from different parts of the fortress of the legion 'I Italica', and a funerary monument no. 9 stood originally outside the fortifications. In each case the edition of the text is followed by an analysis of the material and technique. These inscriptions include: 1) dedication of a tempel to Sol Invictus (?) by Elagabalus, 2) inscription on rebuilding of a structure (most likely a fountain or a temple) by two legionary veterans ('imaginifer' and 'custos armorum'), 3) fragment of an inscription from a large building of Trajan's time dedicated by the province legate and the legionary legate, 4) small fragment with the name of Septimius Severus (?), 5) fragment of a monumental inscription, 6) altar for Genius centuriae of the 'princeps legionis', 7) altar for Jupiter and Diana Bu( ) erected by a veteran of the legion 'I Italica', 8) altar dedicated by a 'tesserarius', 9) tomb stone of Charagonia Arche, possibly a female descendant of a freedman Publius Caragonius Philopalaestrus, known from another inscription from Novae.

Maps collected in the mid 18th century by diplomat, cartographer, and collector Bernard Paul Moll are now housed in the Moravian Library in Brno and all digitalised. The attached drawings of landscapes, inscribed monuments, town maps, mines and fortresses are very simple and monotonous. The inscriptions shown on the drawings of ancient monuments are bad imitations of ancient texts, whose originals were never found. The author found out that they were produced from a manuscript written in minuscule and inspired by collections of that time. She supposes that this source could come from a historian and personal physician of Ferdinandus I, Wolfgang Lazius, whose library has been integrated into the court library at Vienna. The falsifier could have destroyed it not to be revealed. Also the drawings and plans of landscapes and towns are inaccurate and false and the author(s) had probably never been to the site. Nevertheless, the maps are very good and valuable, some of them being the only specimen in their field.

Pentapolitana was a league of the five most important royal free cities in Upper Hungary. Epigraphic monuments created to represent individuals or the urban community were important components of the extensive architecture, as well as various movable or immovable artefacts. Monumental but also simple spontaneous inscriptions often express the worldview of the community or the individual. They also point to the influences of the surrounding or remote countries from which the creators or recipients of inscriptions originated, helping modern observers to understand the cultural relationships between various regions. This article focuses on the content of medieval urban epigraphs and their urban character, discussing their contribution to our knowledge of the history of these five cities from a political and cultural point of view.

This article deals with the inscriptions preserved on the inner surface of the coffin trough. A transcription, transliteration and translation of the hieroglyphic texts are presented in this study including the palaeographic table of hieroglyphic signs and photocopies of the inscriptions. The author of this article reports on the discovery of the title accompanying the name of the deceased person written inside the coffin as well as the names of two deities with a protective function, all of them identified on the places with the damaged surface and hieroglyphic inscriptions. The title and names of the two deities are not mentioned in the CAA catalogue published in the 1980s.

In this paper the author deals with the analysis of the original decoration incompletely preserved on three fragments of the exterior surface of the lid. All three fragments nos. 4, 5 and 6 are situated in the lower part of the mummiform lid of the coffin below the knees. The identification and interpretation of the preserved rests of the original decorative patterns and motifs are presented and discussed here in more details for the first time. The description of vignettes and inscriptions discussed with the comparative material enables us to outline the decorative programme originally used in this part of the coffin which is important for the typological classification of the coffin as well as its dating.

In the era of the Late Roman Empire – 4th and 5th centuries – the public buildings of the city of Rome not only passively reflected the political, religious and economic changes affecting the Roman Empire in the period of intensive barbarian raids and the gradual Christianization of society. They also actively served as a medium for political propaganda from the ruling elite. This study poses two inter-related basic questions: How did public building in Late Antique Rome reflect the substantial changes in politics, religion and culture? How were these changes perceived by the ruling elite, which interpreted and defined the basic problems of building in inscriptions and legislation?

This paper is focused on the study and analysis of the original decoration incompletely preserved on three fragments nos. 1, 2 and 3 of the exterior surface of the lid. The identification and interpretation of the damaged and partly preserved remains of the original decorative motifs and inscriptions will be described and compared with the available analogies. This study can significantly help us to contribute to the reconstruction of the original decoration of the coffin and its typological classification including its dating. Some of the details of the preserved motifs identified and described on the surface of the coffin lid have not been mentioned and published before.
