Abstract
Abstract Recent research has placed much emphasis on the interpretation of epitaphs to clarify important problems concerning the structure of the Roman family. But only isolated pieces of information from each inscription have been registered and used in these quantitative studies. Inscriptions, like the one quoted above, consist of many different elements, and our interpretation of each epitaph depends on how these are interrelated. I have been interested to see what happened if a sample of inscriptions was made taking into consideration all possible information—or as much as possible—from each epitaph, and thus combining the advantages of the quantitative approach to the epigraphic material with the interpretation made on the basis of a reading of each epitaph.
