Abstract

This, Part 3B of our publication of the Attic Inscriptions in the British Museum, contains the five inscriptions in the collection which are or may be from monuments containing catalogues of young men who participated in the ephebate, the training programme that is one of the most richly documented institutions of Hellenistic and Roman Athens. Four of the five date to the Roman period; the fifth is earlier, but may not in fact be an ephebic catalogue. Four of the inscriptions were collected by early-19th century aristocrats (Lord Elgin and Viscount Strangford), but the most substantial item, a striking monument in the shape of a shield, was acquired in Athens by the mid-18th-century physician and collector, Anthony Askew.
