Autobiographic Elements in Latin Inscriptions is a 1910 book by Henry Herbert Armstrong, published by The MacMillan Company.
Content
The book is an academic text describing autobiographic elements of Latin inscriptions from ancient Rome.
Reception
S. R. reviewed the book in Revue Archéologique, a French archaeological journal. W. H. D. Rouse reviewed the book in The Classical Review, writing that the book "must have cost an enourmous labour; but something human emerges" and that "Armstrong includes even the fictious personification where the object is supposed to address the reader, this is to extend the idea of autobiography. His essay is rather a study of formulae; for with so a wide a conception of the subject, there is not room to give many texts." Johannes Tolkiehn reviewed the book for The Classical Quarterly, writing that book was "On the whole a delightful production, though the net is cast rather too widely."
