Linking inscriptions and text: EDCS and eAQUA

• Applicants: Dr. Hannes Kahl; Professor Dr. Kresimir Matijevic
• Subject Area: Ancient History
• Term: since 2026

The aim of the proposed project is to further develop the eAQUA web portal by integrating the texts from the Epigraphic Database Clauss Slaby (EDCS). With this expansion, eAQUA - already the world’s largest repository of Greek and Latin texts - is to be enhanced as a research infrastructure for the study of antiquity into a platform that provides both texts and inscriptions for combined digital analysis.
