AXON. A Selection of Greek Historical Inscriptions

The AXON Project has developed a database of Greek historical inscriptions, from the birth of the polis in the Archaic Age to 31 BC. Each entry is provided with the object’s description, a complete lemma, Greek text with critical apparatus, Italian translation and commentary with keywords and indexes, and updated bibliography. New insights for data-inclusion have been developed. The database supports enlargement and offers a high degree of searchability. Our aim is to illustrate the structure, the contents and the solutions we have come up with in the development of the AXON Project. We will also offer some suggestions for teaching and academic research purposes.
