Abstract

In this brief contribution two previously unpublished grave steles from the museum of Giresun in Pontus are analysed, the first one of which is bilingual, i.e. Latin and Greek, and the other one is in Greek. The first bilingual text is very interesting that the content of each version is culturally quite distinct, surely aimed at the different audiences of the Latin and Greek texts in the bilingual and multicultural environment. Through these two new examples from Giresun it is possible to gain new insights about the Roman eastern Pontus.
