Excerpt from Reims Pendant la Domination Romaine d'Après les Inscriptions: Avec une Dissertation sur le Tombeau de Jovin
De toutes ces études, celle des inscriptions n'est pas la moins aride ni la moins pénible tr0p négli gée jusqu'ici, elle devait être remise en honneur de nos jours pour arriver à quelque chose de certain sur l'administration romaine dans les provinces et particulièrement dans la Gaule. Leur bonne inter - v prétation jette souvent sur des points obscurs une lumiere inespérée. On y trouve des témoi guages des institutions primitives que les villes avaient conservées de celles que la conquête y avait intro duites des modifications que la civilisation romaine avait apportées aux moeurs, aux usages, au culte même. Elles procurent les indications les plus diverses,. Des dates, des noms de personnes et de lieux; elles révèlent ou expliquent des faits généraux ou parti; culiers dont l'histoire ne peut manquer de faire son profit ou plutôt qui deviennent sa base la plus so lide puisque la fidélité de pareils documents ne peut être contestée.
