From the reign of the Emperor Augustus, the habit of engraving inscriptions for use as a means of communication and as a vehicle of permanence in Rome spread from the capital of the Empire to the provincial territories. The scriptores, the craftsmen of inscriptions, specialists in engraving texts on hard supports, became extraordinarily popular and each city of the Empire had at least one inscription workshop, a lapidary officina, where, no doubt, construction and ornamental materials were also produced, which contributed to the homogenisation of the appearance of the Roman provinces.
