AB  - This paper presents the methodologicalbackground and initial results of the research work carried out as part of anongoing project, co-financed by the Greek Government and the European Union (MIS 5004509). Although ancient Greek epigraphyis an important tool for the advancement of historical research and hasrepeatedly demonstrated its potential for invigorating classical studies, theuse of inscriptions as source material often poses particular problems forepigraphists and researchers alike, especially when the text does not providereliable chronological criteria other than the style of lettering and letterform. Recognizing the importance of photographs of securely datableinscriptions for the study of Greek epigraphy, the project aims at collectingphotographic illustrations for as many securely dated inscriptions from ancientMacedonia as possible and integrating the material into an easy-to-useepigraphic database. The usefulness of the database for the study of letteringin Ancient Macedonia from the 4th century B.C.E onwards is presented withparticular regard to the so-called “First Macedonian District”.
