The archaeological museum has a large collection of epigraphs, more than 500, though only part of them are actually exhibited. Some of the epigraphs come from funerary monuments, while some, called honorary epigraphs, mention gifts or deeds committed by prominent citizens. The epigraphs are important sources of information, as their reading allows the reconstruction of Roman life as it was during the Antiquity, including the local political life and the daily life of normal people.
