This book is belatedly dedicated to the memory of

JOHN

C.

ROLFE

(formerly of the University of Pennsylvania), who while Professor in Charge of the School of Classical Studies of the American Academy in Rome, 1923-24, gave me my first instruction in Latin epigraphy.

PREFACE For the third time we record our thanks to all those who have assisted us: in Rome, the authorities of the Capitoline Museum, the Palazzo dei Conservatori, the Lateran, the Museo Nazionale Romano, and the Vatican, and in particular Dr. C. Caprino, Dr. Carlo Pietrangeli, and Dr. Hermine Speier; Professor Attilio Degrassi, for advice and encouragement, Mr. Ernest Nash, as Director of the Fototeca di Architettura e Topografia dell'Italia Antica, and Sig. G. Mecco of the Musei Comunali; here in Berkeley, D. A. Amyx, Pierre MacKay, W. G. Sinnigen, and (while they were here as Sather Professors of Classical Literature) A. D. Momigliano and Sir Ronald Syme; Mr. Victor G.^Duran and his assistants, for photographing the squeezes, Miss Martha S. Webb for typing most of the final draft, the Committee on Research of the Academic Senate of this University, for the funds needed for typing and supplies, and the staff of the University Press and Printing Department involved in the production of the book, particularly Mr. August Fruge, Director of the Press, and Mr. Ernest C. Drews and his assistants who transferred to print the typescript of Part I. Most recently, Lionel Pearson of Stanford University has led us to further study of one of the inscriptions. Special thanks are due to the friends who have kindly aided us in securing a grant from the American Council of Learned Societies toward publication of Part I I I : Professor Attilio Degrassi of Rome, Miss Lucie E. N. Dobbie of Berkeley (who has also edited the manuscript of the entire Album), Professor Sterling Dow of Cambridge, and Professor James H. Oliver of Baltimore (who has also read, in manuscript, all of Part III, as well as Parts I and II). My own debt, as for Parts I and II, remains greatest to my wife, who besides typing all the first draft and much of the second (including all the epigraphical texts) has made herself responsible for all the palaeographical statements and opinions expressed (letter heights to arrangement, etc.), read the whole manuscript, and corrected or clarified many of my own statements.
