Layout e segni di lettura nelle iscrizioni metriche dell’Egitto tardoantico

This paper deals with layout and lectional signs in metrical inscriptions from late antique Egypt, suggesting that patrons, authors and other people involved in the various stages of the production of inscriptions aimed at making the poetic nature of the texts easier to recognize for the audience. Therefore, different layout strategies, influenced also by contemporary book production, pointed out inscriptions’ metrical structure to the readers, who were supposed to read aloud them.
