Roman Name Attestations

~250,000 inscriptions from across the Roman Empire, enriched with AI-extracted name data. This map visualises inscriptions from the Epigraphic Database Clauss-Slaby (EDCS) that record personal names. For each inscription an AI pipeline attempts to identify individuals and extract their praenomen, nomen, cognomen, status, and gender.
How to use – Zoom in to explore individual inscriptions. Click any marker to see the people recorded on it, the inscription text, and (where available) a translation and summary. Use the search bar and filters to narrow down what you see.
Prefer to search by name, province, or date? Use the Search / Browse interface to query the database directly, filter results, and export data as CSV or JSON.

BeSpacific: “No one better has her finger on the pulse of the legal information world than Sabrina Pacifici, law librarian and author of the blog BeSpacific,” writes blogger Robert Ambrogi. “Launched in 2002, BeSpacific is one of the longest-running legal blogs and, remarkably, Sabrina seems more prolific today than ever. She posts multiple items every day, covering the gamut of law, technology and knowledge discovery and topics ranging from cybersecurity to legal research to government regulation to civil liberties to IP and more. For me, BeSpacific is one of my daily must-reads and has been for 14 years straight.”
