Mica schist stela with (not too smoothly) curved top; see Levo for the find circumstances and context. According to Ferrero 1897: 57, the tomb associated with the stela contained an iron lance head. The stela is displayed in the open vestibule of the church. The shape of the stone is similar to that of one of the Roman stelae (VB·30 Stresa) from Levo. The gravestones from the Verbano cannot be marshalled into a clear chronological order, as factors like stone shape, frames, writing direction, letter forms and language/text formula appear in almost free combination; cf. Mainardis 2009: 337 f., who points out that one stonemason/workshop would be able to produce stelae according to more traditional or modern tastes all dating to roughly the same time. Morandi's dating to the late 2nd c. BC in any case seems too early; we prefer to date the Verbano stones with epichoric inscriptions roughly to the 1st c. BC.
