The LatEpig tool allows you to query all the inscriptions from the Epigraphic Database Clauss Slaby (www.manfredclauss.de) in a reproducible manner: it saves the search results in a TSV and a JSON file and plots them on an interactive map of the Roman Empire without any prior knowledge of programming in a matter of minutes.

Description
This programme allows to extracts the output of a search query from the Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss / Slaby (EDCS) in a reproducible manner and saves it as a TSV file (i.e. tab separated value) that can be easily opened in your favourite spreadsheet software, or as a JSON file. The search results can be also plotted to a map of the Roman Empire, along with the system of the Roman Provinces, roads, and cities. More on the used datasets in the
