Placement of Epigraphs

We understand that there are many different kinds of epigraphs, and we know that very few people know where to look for epigraphs. That being said, we have created this section that list down placement of epigraphs so that should you like to contribute to some of the sections of this site, you only need to check this list of epigraphs to know if what you wish to submit here could be validly considered an epigraph (based on where you found it). Epigraphs are not that hard to find at all. For example, finding an epigraph could be as simple as walking around in a cemetery – one of the most common placement of epigraphs would be tombstones; searching for an epitaph (a tribute to the dead individual) may very well be a good place to start looking for epigraphs. An epitaph is a very common type of epigraph; when taking into consideration the placement of epigraphs, then this may be the easiest way to go.

Another easy way to go is to look for monuments. For the purposes of this site, the placement of epigraphs in monuments (often on a memorial plaque or a historical church's wall) would be considered the most ideal source for American epigraphs, as they document figures and sites of historical importance. Lastly, you can peer at your coins – there are epigraphs there too!
