Autobiographic Elements in Latin Inscriptions is a 1910 book by Henry Herbert Armstrong, published by The MacMillan Company.
[1] The book is an academic text analyzing autobiographic elements of Latin inscriptions from ancient Rome.
Personal narratives of events are predominant in Roman literature, with autobiographic elements also being found in inscriptions.
[2] W. H. D. Rouse reviewed the book in The Classical Review, writing that the book "must have cost an enourmous labour; but something human emerges" and that "Armstrong includes even the fictious personification where the object is supposed to address the reader, this is to extend the idea of autobiography.
His essay is rather a study of formulae; for with so a wide a conception of the subject, there is not room to give many texts.
