Inscriptions are more important than coins in his­torical reconstruction. The study of inscriptions is called ‘epigraphy’, and the study of old writing is called ‘palaeography’. Inscriptions are writings carved on seals, stone pillars, rocks, copper plates, temple walls and bricks or images.The vast epigraphic material available in India provides the most reliable data for studying history. Like coins, inscriptions are preserved in various museums, but the largest number is under the Chief Epigraphist at Mysore.
