Abstract

The use of epigraphic sources proposes upstream validate some of the texts used. Very often the texts handed down by historians older have many problems in this regard. In any case, the study of texts corrupt or even false offers quite a few suggestions, especially in relation to their use to understand the mentality and culture of those who produced them. The value of the epigraphic text as text “exposed” and then as a means of communication and propaganda turns out to be so in every case of absolute importance. The problem for the historians remains as always to be able to contextualize it in the proper period. The example of the Latin inscriptions of Sardinia (genuine or false) are in this sense an example of great value.
