Use this epigraphic utility to apply a stated parsing, transcription, measurement, dating, classification, or documentation rule consistently while preparing inscriptions for scholarly review.

Name

Full Roman name to tally.

Tallies the whitespace-separated onomastic elements of a Roman name and reports how many beyond praenomen and nomen are likely cognomina. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Elements

Number of whitespace-separated name elements.

Likely cognomina

Element count minus two, floored at zero.

• Roman name elements, filiations, tribes, freed status, and origins vary across time, region, citizenship, gender, language, and inscription type. A suffix or token is evidence for review, not a unique biographical identification.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Retain the photograph, squeeze or scan, diplomatic transcription, provenance, dimensions, uncertainty marks, and corpus identifiers with the result. Confirm ambiguous cases against the relevant corpus, Leiden conventions, parallel inscriptions, and specialist judgment.

• Theophoric Name Element Detector

  Detect theophoric name elements by substring-matching a fixed list of common Greco-Roman divine stems (longest first) and report the matched stem and deity, or a negative result.

• Tria Nomina Completeness Structure Analyzer

  Analyzes whether a Roman name supplies the full tria nomina using standard praenomen tokens and gentilicial -ius/-eus/-ia/-ea nomen endings.

• Fracture Join Match Piece Count Reconciler

  Reconcile a fragment assembly by reporting how many pieces remain unjoined and what percentage of the fragments have been matched into joins.
