Project description
The secrets of spelling and social significance
Ancient Latin inscriptions, characterised by occasional deviant spellings and errors, have long puzzled scholars. Recognising the importance of these anomalies as windows into the ancient world, the VaLiD project emerges as a groundbreaking initiative. Supported by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, the project will employ modern approaches and focus on the Roman province Hispania Citerior. By unravelling the enigma of deviant spellings and errors, it will shed light on the diverse territorial and sociological aspects of this era. This investigation is expected to yield crucial insights into the spoken Latin of Hispania, as well as the province's literacy levels, with particular emphasis on the social and gender components of the vibrant Hispanic society.
Objective
VaLiD aims to reconsider the nature and the significance of deviant spellings and errors in Latin inscriptions in the light of territorial and sociological diversities, by applying modern approaches to the ancient materials. The privileged field of study will be the Roman province Hispania Citerior but comparisons with other territories represent an essential aspect of the investigation. The project is expected to return important information about the spoken Latin of Hispania as well as about the literacy levels of the province, focusing on the social and gender components of the Hispanic society.
