Presentation
The SIGN-IT project aims to study the cultural history of the Italian peninsula, and in particular the regions where Latin and Greek-speaking communities lived, from the Roman Imperial period to the Middle Ages, through the prism of objects known as signacula, matrices bearing text, signs and/or iconographic motifs designed to print various materials. This material is being studied for the first time in a « long-durée » perspective and will be organised in a database structured according to the EpiDoc standard, thus facilitating comparison with other inscribed objects. The analysis of the data will allow us to: establish a dating protocol, to unlock the full potential of signacula as historical sources; study the use of language(s) and their contribution to the making of specific local identities, between the ancient and medieval periods; track over changes in marking practices and and analyse them as proxies for social and cultural transformations.
