Elogium

An inscription on tombs, doors, images of ancestors, votive tablets, etc. Many of these elogia (ἐλεγεῖα) are preserved to us from the pedestals of the statues with which Augustus adorned the colonnades of the temple of Mars in the Forum (Hor. Carm. iv. 8, 13) and from the hermae in libraries. They are of some historical value, though not always representing original sources of information. For specimens, see the Corp. Inscript. Lat. i. pp. 277, 281, and Wilmanns pp. 622 foll.; also the Poetae Lat. Minores (ed. Bährens), v. 396. For the etymology of the word elogium see Curtius's Kleine Schriften, ii. 230 (Leipzig, 1880); and for discussion, Hildesheimer, De Libro de Viris Illustribus Urbis Romae (Berlin, 1880).
