History

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The DataCons Project provides an open-access dataset of late Roman consular dating formulae spanning from CE 284 to 541. It aggregates consular materials from publications worldwide. Currently, the dataset contains over 4,800 documents, penned in three distinct scripts, originating from ten ancient regions, and categorised by material type and textual content. The present release of the dataset (2.0.0) focuses on the Latin and Greek documentation from CE 476 to 526, includes nearly 880 items in total, and pertains exclusively to papyri and inscriptions. Periodic updates are anticipated to expand its temporal coverage. The dataset is tailored to support interdisciplinary research involving consular material, and the project will soon be accompanied by the launch of an online relational database.
