Inscriptions of Aphrodisias

Inscriptions of Aphrodisias was a project funded by the Leverhulme Trust and the British Academy that aimed to publish the inscriptions of the Greek ancient site of Aphrodisias (modern day Turkey) online.

Initial efforts to form an international team of collaborators were already made in 2002, with a British Academy project led by Charlotte Roueché and Geoffrey B. Waywell.

The final first edition of a corpus of all inscriptions from Aphrodisias was published in 2007 by Joyce Reynolds, Charlotte Roueché and Gabriel Bodard[2][3] Aphrodisias was a small ancient Greek city in modern-day Turkey.

It is well known for its rich epigraphic record with about 2000 known inscriptions conditioned by the high-quality marble from the area.
