How did the integration of a Greek city into the Roman Empire take place? What were the steps involved and what institutional and social transformations accompanied it? These are the main issues explored in this volume of the Corpus of Inscriptions from Thasos (CITh V), which brings together public documents from the Roman era (1st century BC – 4th century AD). One hundred and three texts, previously scattered among numerous collections and articles, are meticulously edited, translated, commented on, and illustrated with completely renewed graphic and photographic documentation. A series of letters issued by Roman authorities outline the successive stages of Thasos’ incorporation into the emerging empire, from the war against Mithridates to the creation of the province of Thrace. All other inscriptions originate directly from the city itself. The content and presentation of these documents reflects the evolution of the Greek civic model during the period of Roman hegemony. While regulations are not as common as in previous eras, honorary decrees and inscriptions on the bases of statues now constitute a significant portion of public epigraphy. In response to the numerous dedications with an edilitarian character, these inscriptions demonstrate the increased dependence of the city on a group of notables who finance the maintenance and the functioning of its still active institutions. At the end of the book, a paleographic appendix traces the development of engraving from the major texts of the 1st century BC until the conclusion of public epigraphy in the Constantinian period. Additionally, a prosopographic appendix identifies and catalogs over 250 individuals, both men and women. A series of detailed indexes facilitates the consultation of the volume.
