This essay illustrates changes in official epigraphy in the later Roman empire, principally through the prism of the physical remains of public pronouncements, which remained prominent in the urban landscape until the epigraphic collapse of the seventh century. While the emperor and his officials appear more proactive, this does not entirely replace the impetus of petitioners, although the civic prominence of the Principate comes to be supplanted by ecclesiastical participation. Imperial titulature remains conservative for a long time, but there are subtle shifts from Constantine onwards, even if Christianization only becomes fully explicit in the sixth century. Finally, Greek comes to dominate, with only vestigial Latin.
