In the section dedicated to the study of the onomastics, we have already explained that the structure of the Roman name was not static and changed during years. As a consequence, the presence of some type of names as those consisting of a praenomen and nomen which lack of a cognomen could indicate an early chronology in which this last part of the name was not yet included .
Nevertheless, although the name structure can be a complementary element for dating an inscription, it does not express any specific chronology by itself. The name structures represented in the epitaphs and religious inscription could not be a complete name as it was not an official document in which having to specify it. Also, the evolution of the name structure did not

We will only present those which appear in the inscriptions of our area but there are others which were used in other regions that also suggest certain chronology .
Funerary
Dis Manibus: this formula is one of the most popular among the funerary inscriptions. In Italy it started to appear in Augustan Era, became popular by the time of Flavian dynasty and it was generalised by the 2nd century in the rest of the provinces . As a consequence, it is used as a valid postquem element for dating the inscriptions
Sit tibi terra leuis: this was other of the most frequent formula in the funerary inscriptions. Unfortunately, it was used during all the Imperial time and it not useful for determining the chronology of our inscriptions.
Hic situs est: as the previous one, it was a common formula during the Imperial time and it cannot be connect to unique period. It was used as an early chronology element by some scholars but its presence in inscriptions from later chronology is nowadays proved .
Monumentum: it was used in Hispania from the second half of the 2nd century onwards
According to Table 1.1, water vessel type W1 popularity increased over time, while water vessel type W2 decreased (refer to Chart #1). With this information, we may include the remaining archaeological data of water vessels in sites “D” and “GM” into the table with correct chronological order that pre-dates 2200 B.C. In essence, we now know the chronological flow of the sites from recent to oldest, which are “PGU”, “B”, “PGL”, “D” and “GM” respectively.

Among the many artworks I have seen, I decided to discuss about the “Sarcophagus Depicting a Battle between Soldiers and Amazons (Warrior Women)” from the Roman civilization. It was built sometime in between 140 A.D. to 170 A.D and is approximately forty and a half inches in length, ninety-one and a half inches in width, and fifty and a half inches tall in height (“Roman Sarcophagus”). This masterpiece appealed to me because of the unique approach that has been designed to honor the deceased. Many people are familiar with the formatting and inscriptions of a gravestone because it is usually engraved with an individual’s full name, birth date, and death date. During the Roman Empire, a sarcophagus, which is a coffin, was widely used to show decorative themes that includes: battle scenes, hunting scenes, weddings, or other memorable episodes from the life of the deceased individual. The most luxurious ones were made from marble surrounded by symbolic sculptures, figures and inscriptions on all four sides (“Sarcophagus”). Another feature that captured my attention was the large quantity of details used to bring out a lifelike aspect of the deceased individual’s favorable moments in their life. In this artwork, this sarcophagus was dedicated to a Roman commander. The exterior of the sarcophagus has been well-decorated and carved with exquisite details depicting a battle scene
However, the act of interacting with the spiritual world was impossible without the early uses of writing. The initial early uses of writing were to record religious ideas and events that had taken place. Some examples of the first early uses of writing were seen in the oracle-bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty, the ritual bronze inscriptions in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the metal bound box during the Zhou dynasty. The need for record keeping and procedures for religious performance resulted in a large necessitation of literacy to continue these practices, especially for individuals of higher social standings.

A brief walk through the history of the ancient Remetch script and its decipherment. The history of hieroglyphics is dated as far back to approximately 3150 BCE and remained in use for over 3300 years for many aspect of life. During that period the script has gone through several writing styles. The first change attested during the Naqada II period was called cursive hieroglyphic (hieratic), followed by Sekh Shah (demotic), and finally Coptic. These changes came about for use as an everyday script, in which every glyphs (phonograms) was replaced by simpler symbols, as a means for faster writing.

The ancient city of Rome was filled with fantastic architecture and ever-changing rulers, which led to many differences in the city from year to year. Rome is responsible for many cultural and technological advances that are still used today, but it was not without problems. Many Roman writers from that time had their own views on Rome, however, which they would use in their writing. Two such writers are Juvenal and Augustus, both of which had their own perspectives of Rome. Their descriptions are both so different that it calls to question, which of their accounts is correct and which is not. Res Gestae by Augustus does not provide an accurate description of Rome, mainly due to the fact that Augustus was listing his own
With this narrative and spirit of historical conundrums in mind, we will examine two primary Ancient Roman sources. The first will be Augustus’s Res Gestae Divi Augusti and the second, Book Ten
