音频游览 Epigraphic section Intro

About a third of the epigraphs found at Sestino are parts of monuments erected in honour of emperors while the others are in honour of private citizens who were distinguished for their beneficial or charitable actions for the community. Funerary and sacred epigraphs are rarer. The inscriptions are all made on the same kind of stone: a local travertine stone that is difficult to carve but easy to trace to the areas of Sasso di Simone and San Marino. The production of epigraphs in Sestino came from the workshops of skilled and expert stonecutters. The epigraphs were mainly found in the area around the church of San Pancrazio, which, for this reason, has come to be considered the location where the Forum used to be. Nearly all of them have a cavity in the top where a statue would have been inserted. The group of plinths and inscriptions on display represent a broad collection of the various formulas of respect used for eleven emperors (Claudius, Titus, Vespasian, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius, Pertinax, Septimus Severus, Trebonianus Gallus, Costantius II).
