While reading Latin wholly or partly metric or affective inscriptions, it is very useful to recognize and rightly understand graphic marks of all kinds (even empty spaces), which guide to identify each line of a poem (fines versuum), or divide/distinguish the main (i. e. informatory or dedicatory: titulus) share of a text from the additional (i. e. affective) one, that is often prose from verse, or vice-versa.

Abstract

While reading Latin wholly or partly metric or affective inscriptions, it is very useful to recognize and rightly understand graphic marks of all kinds (even empty spaces), which guide to identify each line of a poem (fines versuum), or divide/distinguish the main (i. e. informatory or dedicatory: titulus) share of a text from the additional (i. e. affective) one, that is often prose from verse, or vice-versa. To this purpose thirty, fast all sepulchral inscriptions of republican or early imperial age are carefully envisaged (and many others compared). A special attention is paid to the alternation of protruding and indented lines, a usage which appears neither exclusive nor very typical of elegiacs, but seems to derive from the ‘paragraphed’ style of prose lay-out, so that even whole distiches are often laid-out as a ‘paragraph’, with or without distinction between hexameter and pentameter, and likewise any kind of same verse couplet, when each couplet is intended to express something whole.
