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. These include inscriptions where a person gives information on their own life, expresses opinions about events, or places themself in relation to another person. Armstrong was a classicist who taught at multiple universities in the United States and studied at the American School of Classical Studies in Rome.
