I have been visiting many Roman sites, but my Latin is quite rusty. I participate mostly in the Greek forum. I was wondering how much easier it is to learn to read inscriptions than full texts. And, are there any good guides (online) explaining how to do it--common schemas, etc?
Thanks.
Is reading inscriptions hard?

I'm writing in Latin hoping for correction, and not because I'm confident in how I express myself. Latinè scribo ut ab omnibus corrigar, non quod confidenter me exprimam.
