Summary

English summary: Inscriptions are among the few sources from ancient history that regularly expand and complement our knowledge, particularly with regard to Roman administrative and military history. In addition, they provide us with epigraphic evidence that brings archaeological ruins to life. Dedicatory inscriptions tell us which deity was consulted, while building inscriptions give us information as to who, for example, was responsible for the establishment of a theater and what resources were devoted to them. They therefore provide the epigraphic evidence that allows us to write the history for remote places and areas that have found no place in the literary texts of antiquity. Study of the epigraphy and military history of the Germanic provinces reflect Rainer Wiegelwho's two key research focuses. He collected and analyzed the Latin inscriptions for the Roman provinces of Germania Superior and Germania Inferior for almost three decades and included them in this supplementary volume to the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum. German text. German description: Inschriften gehoren zu den wenigen Quellengattungen der Alten Geschichte, die regelmassig Erweiterung erfahren und unsere Kenntnis, besonders was die romische Verwaltungs- und Militargeschichte anbelangt, bestandig erganzen. Daneben ermoglichen es uns die epigraphischen Zeugnisse vielfach, die archaologischen Uberreste mit Leben zu fullen. So verraten uns Weihinschriften, welche Gottheit(en) angerufen wurde(n), wahrend uns Bauinschriften daruber Auskunft geben, wer beispielsweise fur die Errichtung eines Theaters zustandig gewesen ist und welche Mittel hierfur aufgewendet wurden. Es sind somit die epigraphischen Zeugnisse, die es uns erlauben, die aGeschichte von abgelegenen Orten und Gebieten zu schreiben, welche keinen Eingang in die literarischen Texte der Antike gefunden haben.Die erstmals in einem Band versammelten und mit einem Register versehenen Studien zur Epigraphik und Militargeschichte der germanischen Provinzen spiegeln dabei zwei wesentliche Forschungsschwerpunkte von Rainer Wiegels wider, der fur den Supplementband zum aCorpus Inscriptionum Latinarum fur den Bereich der romischen Provinzen Germania Superior und Germania Inferior in nun beinahe dreissigjahriger Arbeit die lateinischen Inschriften dieser Gebiete gesammelt und analysiert hat.
