However, only a small fraction of the total production of texts from ancient Greece and Rome has survived up to the present, leaving many gaps in the historiographic records. Epigraphy, which is the study of inscriptions (epigraphs), helps to fill these gaps. In particular, the goal of epigraphy is to clarify the meanings of epigraphs; to classify their uses according to their dating and cultural contexts; and to study aspects of the writing, the writers, and their \u201cconsumers.\u201d Although several research projects have recently been promoted for digitally storing and retrieving data and metadata about epigraphs, there has actually been no attempt to apply data mining technologies to discover previously unknown cultural aspects. In this context, we propose to exploit the temporal dimension associated with epigraphs (dating) by applying a data mining method for novelty detection. The main goal is to discover relational novelty patterns\u2014that is, patterns expressed as logical clauses describing significant variations (in frequency) over the different epochs, in terms of relevant features such as language, writing style, and material. As a case study, we considered the set of\n            <jats:italic>Inscriptiones Christianae Vrbis Romae<\/jats:italic>\n            stored in Epigraphic Database Bari, an epigraphic repository. Some patterns discovered by the data mining method were easily deciphered by experts since they captured relevant cultural changes, whereas others disclosed unexpected variations, which might be used to formulate new questions, thus expanding the research opportunities in the field of epigraphy.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/2629513","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,17]],"date-time":"2014-09-17T14:22:25Z","timestamp":1410963745000},"page":"1-21","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Discovering Novelty Patterns from the Ancient Christian Inscriptions of Rome"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Gianvito","family":"Pio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Bari Aldo Moro"}]},{"given":"Fabio","family":"Fumarola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Bari Aldo Moro"}]},{"given":"Antonio E.","family":"Felle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Bari Aldo Moro"}]},{"given":"Donato","family":"Malerba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Bari Aldo Moro"}]},{"given":"Michelangelo","family":"Ceci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Bari Aldo Moro"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,15]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Communications in Computer and Information Science","author":"Agosti Maristella","key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","unstructured":"Maristella Agosti , Lucio Benfante , and Nicola Orio . 2013.
