On 20 October, Paweł Nowakowski and Lorena Pérez Yarza presented a paper co-authored by Andrés Rea entitled "Strokes and Bars, Serifs and Cornices, or the Cultural Transfer in the Epigraphy of the Sanctuary of Hecate at Lagina, Western Anatolia" at the conference "The Epigraphic Programs of Greek Sanctuaries: Space, Actors and Visual Strategies", held in Wrocław on 20–21 October 2025.

The close analysis of carving styles, calligraphic styles and serif and cornice use in the inscriptions discovered at the sanctuary of Lagina demonstrate how this space acted as a ‘microcosm’ where Greek and Latin carving traditions met, interacted, and ultimately fused over time. Our study has shown that the cultural transfer linked to processes of Romanisation indeed impacted morphological changes in Greek letterforms in monumental public writing. However, at Lagina we have sketched the transfer of Latin design principles not as a straightforward act of Romanisation in the colonial sense, but as a more complex process of cultural encounter. It began with acculturation, when local artisans adopted new techniques and aesthetic models, and culminated in inculturation, when the Greek tradition creatively absorbed and reinterpreted these elements within its own visual logic to create something new.
