Throughout the 3rd to 1st centuries BCE, honorific inscriptions emerged and their number gradually increased, coinciding with the Roman conquest and its consequent administrative influence. This study addresses both general and specific cases of honorific inscriptions, starting with the earliest cases in Entella and Syracuse, and then moving on to the 2nd century, showing how epigraphy reflects sociopolitical structures and the presence of local elites, as well as the proliferation of euergetism. The cases of Segesta, Agrigentum and Syracuse, regarded as paradigmatic, are analysed more exhaustively, since they offer some particular and well-differentiated features.The research concludes that, although Roman influence was not decisive, it did facilitate the proliferation of these documents through political stability and the promotion of local elites.

The arrival of Rome in the various Mediterranean areas was a gradual and differentiated process, both in chronological and geographical terms, resulting in a diversity of epigraphic influences reflected in the typological, functional and cultural characteristics of the inscriptions. These not only document changes in socio-political dynamics, but also offer evidence of the identity negotiations between local communities and Roman power, in a situation of constant interaction and adaptation. The dossier includes seven articles that explore this theme from regional and temporal perspectives, from both the western and eastern Mediterranean, focusing on Latin and Greek epigraphy. This comparative approach highlights both common patterns and particularities in the evolution of epigraphy under Roman influence.

The inscriptions, despite their fragmentary nature, reveal unique linguistic and historical features that align with regional trends, including the role of civic officials. Two of these inscriptions are rather early examples of civic epigraphy in Kephaloidion, and appear to be dedications of local officials with some unique features. The third one, a statue base honouring a Roman individual of the gens Domitia, may be one of the oldest examples of honorific epigraphy for a provincial governor in Sicily, if identified with L. Domitius Ahenobarbus (pr. 97 BC).

Despite the scarcity of direct sources, the research combines epigraphy, numismatics, and Greco-Roman accounts to reconstruct the Carthaginian fiscal system. It explores bureaucratic structures, contributions in kind and currency, and the relationship between taxation and territorial expansion. Additionally, it compares taxation models in Africa, Sicily, Sardinia, and the Iberian Peninsula, highlighting the evolution of the Punic fiscal system until its transformation under Roman rule.

The regulation was approved at that time due to the recent conquest of Sardinia, from where one of the main detergents employed by fullers was imported. The censors' intervention is connected to the administration of vectigalia: either some fullonicae in Rome were public property (or placed on public land), or, more probably, the Republic obtained revenue from quarries of fuller's earth in Sardinia.

The study of fiscal issues has always benefited from the contribution of epigraphy: various provisions issued by the competent authorities and made public carved on stone or other durable materials have made it possible to know the names of certain taxes, those responsible for collecting them, their scope and, more rarely, some of the collection procedures; on the other hand, the names and duties of many actors in the tax field have been transmitted by the funerary epigraphs.
However, while there is a considerable amount of information on ancient taxation, many questions remain unanswered. The contributions presented at the international conference held in Catania from June 29 to 30, 2019 and published in this volume are intended to shed light on a number of issues concerning the Roman tax system and to formulate new hypotheses regarding much debated and so far unresolved issues.

C. Miembro de una rama lateral de los Sempronii Gracchi de la que parece que ni siquiera fue el primogénito, su padre nunca ocupó cargos de relevancia en la política romana. Sin embargo, eso no impidió a Tiberio Graco ocupar el consulado en dos ocasiones, celebrar el triunfo y ser el primer hombre de su familia en llegar a la censura, a la vez que contraer matrimonio con Cornelia, la hija de Escipión el Africano. Sin embargo, resulta reseñable que, frente a la ausencia de noticias de otros miembros contemporáneos de su familia, de Tiberio Graco tengamos varias referencias a su paso por las magistraturas menores, en las cuales pondrá en evidencia sus cualidades políticas y mostrará algunos de los rasgos que lo caracterizarán a lo largo de su vida:la profesionalidad, la moderación y otras virtudes que lo convertirán en un romano digno de aemulatio.
The figure of Tiberius Gracchus the Elder has remained quite shadowed in most of the publications on the Middle Republic even though he was undoubtedly one of the most prominent leaders of his generation (first half of the 2nd century BC). He was a member of a side branch of the Sempronii Gracchi, and apparently not even the eldest son. Moreover, his father did not hold the consulship. However, Tiberius Gracchus carried out the consulship twice, celebrated two triumphi and became the first man in his family holding the censorship. He even married to Scipio Africanus’ daughter, Cornelia. It is noteworthy that, compared with the rest of his contemporary family, there are several references to his activity during the minor magistracies, in which he would show some of the characteristics that that would define him: profesionality, moderation and some other virtues that would make him an exemplary Roman.

A pesar de su conquista temprana, Cerdeña fue foco de constantes revueltas durante siglos, incluso en época imperial. Sin embargo, fueron pocos los generales de envergadura que hicieron frente a dichos conflictos. Entre esos pocos hombres, en las etapas iniciales del dominio romano sobresale sin ninguna duda Tiberio Graco el Mayor, padre de los famosos tribunos de la plebe, que en calidad de cónsul consiguió pacificar la isla durante su campaña (177-175 a. C.). Si tenemos en cuenta que las dotes políticas de Graco fueron más admiradas que sus cualidades militares, podemos concluir que sus habili-dades como reformador, administrador y diplomático resultaron claves para conseguir el éxito en Sardinia, donde las revueltas parecen tener un componente económico. Sardinia was one of the first places were the Roman Republic established the provincial system, but that did not suppose an effective control over the island. Despite its early conquest, Sardinia was the scene of constant rebellions for centuries, even in imperial times. However, few important men faced these conflicts. Among them, if we can underline somebody during the first stages of the Roman rule, that would be Tiberius Gracchus the Elder, father of the famous tribunes of the plebs, who pacified the island in his consular campaign (177-175 BC). Since the political talent of Gracchus was more recognized than his military skills, we could deduce that his abilities as reformer, administrator and diplomat were keys of his final success in Sardinia, where revolts seem to have had economic grounds.

The study of fiscal issues has always benefited from the contribution of epigraphy: various provisions issued by the competent authorities and made public carved on stone or other durable materials have made it possible to know the names of certain taxes, those responsible for collecting them, their scope and, more rarely, some of the collection procedures; on the other hand, the names and duties of many actors in the tax field have been transmitted by the funerary epigraphs.
