Mehentel Djahida et Serradj-remili Nedjma_Formula used in funerary inscriptions in Algeria during the Roman period

Abstract

The abstract:The Latin inscriptions discovered in Algeria represent very important documents to study the
African societies during the roman period. The Latin gravestones, including pagan and Christian ones
formed the biggest number; they vary between the simple forms, dedicated generally to Manes (death gods)
to another defined and carefully chosen, especially the poetic funeral epigraphy “carmina”. The selected
examples presented in this paper concern only Ancient Algeria, hence the choice of the title. However, we
brought some remarks on the specific funerary formula in other African provinces.
