ABSTRACT
The current presentation sums up an ample project aiming at establishing the most viable best practices set of rules and the optimal metadata for an ancient population database.
Why is an ancient population database essential? Because a digital resource focused on individuals would reveal linkage possibilities that otherwise elude us, it would finally give us the complete and accurate image of the Roman attested population and, through codifications, it would offer the most needed overview on all relevant aspects imagined (epigraphic patterns, religiosity, migrations, onomastics, occupations, family data, etc.). A complete, aggregate database will allow a longitudinal (diachronic) view on the attested Roman population from a certain area and ideally from the whole Empire, but also a transversal (a section in time) image.
