Inscriptions were produced at various places in the Byzantine Empire, most of all in urban centers during the early period, and also in the far east of the Empire, Caesarea Maritima being one good example. In the major cities of Constantinople and Thessaloniki, inscriptions were produced continuously throughout the entire Byzantine millennium, and the extant inscriptional evidence is only a small remnant of the mass of the original material. However, Byzantine Greek inscriptions were not only produced within the receding Imperial boundaries, but also in territories that had lost: Jordan and Syria after the sixth century, the Balkans after the dispersion of the Bulgarian and Serbian kingdoms, and the Northern coast of the Black Sea. Additionally, in Southern Italy and in Sicily after the Norman Conquest, Greek inscriptions emerged via a deliberate imitation of the Byzantine culture.
