Some good reasons for a permanent education:
CIL, VI 1574: an unknown senator
on a very fragmentary stone ….

… becomes CIL, VI 41106: the funerary
inscription of Tacitus, the historian!

Some good reasons for a permanent education:
    Inscribed Rostra from the Sicilian sea
               (first Punic war)

Inscriptions od Adrastus, «housekeeper» of
the Antonine Column in Rome

Funerary inscription of a private cook

Unexpected predecessors…

Some good reasons for a civic education:
An inscription can be stolen…

An inscription can be destroyed…

… post pyroboli diruptionem ab hominibus terrorem
excitantibus effectam

An inscription can be damaged…

The EAGLE Storytelling Application

EAGLE can also be a chance to teach institutions
    about the importance of multilinguism in
                Euroepan research,
 and the need to improve the educational offer,
 at a high level, in the field of Digital Humanities

Tradition and Innovation:
   a non-virtual love…
