Chantal Gabrielli

My research has focused on economic-financial problems in the city of Rome during the republican period connected with the patrician-plebeian conflicts. In recent years, I have been interested in changes in the political struggle related to the Graccan tribunates, and I have analysed the conceptualisation of violence in historiographic, juridical, and epigraphic sources as a paradigm of the crisis of the res publica. Particular interest since 2010 has been devoted to the Latin epigraphy of Roman Etruria and the urban documentation present in the numerous private collections of Florentine noble families. The most recent studies concern a dossier of metric urban funerary inscriptions which allowed me to reconstruct important aspects of daily life in the city, and bronze instrumenta found in Rome. The latter were acquired by the Medici family and brought to the Archaeological Museum of Florence, and constitute unique and precious evidence of imperial politics in the 3rd century AD.

My research project is intended to reconstruct digitally the ‘epigraphic landscape’ of Rome and its suburbium. It therefore focuses on the critical digitisation, based on the best existing edition, possibly with further checks and amendments, of texts and images of Latin inscriptions in Rome that can be traced back to a known topographical context. The implementation of the EDR online database with high quality standards, critical readings and an up-to-date bibliography will be carried out with a view to the reconstruction of Rome's urban landscape through the inscriptions, the subject of the IN-ROME project. In addition to including in EDR the inscriptions already published in the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, I will also take the opportunity to publish the unedited material related to the topographical contexts identified in Rome.
