Commentary
Roughly rectangular slab of friable sandstone, found in early April 1966 in the find spot called fondo Giulini – a site of pre-Roman Como – during the construction of the motorway. Exact find circumstances in Società Archeologica Comense 1966, Mirabella Roberti 1966: 114, Tibiletti Bruno 1966b: 279–282; upper left corner was damaged. On the subsequent salvage excavation conducted by Mr Cirillo see De Marinis & Motta 1991: 211 f., n. 16, contra Tibiletti Bruno 1990b: 85). Description of the site and finds in Luraschi et al. 1969: 221–223, no. 28 (with site map and in situ photography). Beside another similar slab without inscription and more above (TB 282 f. and SAC), position and function TB 284–287 (also Prosdocimi 1967: 200, Ferri 1967, Tibiletti Bruno 1990b: 77-115). Golasecca-Beifunde: Società Archeologica Comense 1966, Mirabella Roberti 1966: 115 (dating to ca. 400 BC for the putative temenos). Brought to the Museo Como in May 1966, on exhibition since 1969 (TB 1969: 233). The size of the stone is different according to different sources: 385 × 19 (max.) × 42 (max.) cm (Motta 2000: 197), 375 × 18 (mean) × 33 (mean) cm (Morandi 2004: 638), 378 x 19 x 23 cm (Markey & Mees 2003: 121, fig. 2, who refer to the "'official' measurements"). Also the dating differs according to different sources: second quarter of 5th century BC (Motta 2000: 197, cf. De Marinis & Motta 1991: 211), "datable on epigraphic and archaeological grounds to about 480–450 BC" (Markey & Mees 2003: 116). The site is within Golasecca III B–Golaseccca III A 1-2; beaker finds in the approximate context of the stone can be dated Golasecca III A (De Marinis 1986: 74 f., no. 1, De Marinis in Prosdocimi 1987: 569, De Marinis & Motta 1991: 211 f., Markey & Mees 2003: 116, 212, fig. 2; high dating also in Gambari & Colonna 1988: 132, Solinas after De Marinis). Sketch of the site in Markey & Mees 2003: 121 (fig. 2, from De Marinis & Motta 1991: fig. 6). The inscription on the stone "faced west, toward an area devoid of archaeological definition and away from what appear to have been more elaborate interior structures to the east", the stone was "apparently dry-mounted on a low exterior wall" (Markey & Mees 2003: 212, fig. 2, see also 120–122, assume that is was a boundary marker).
