Commentary
First published in Poggi 1886: 129–131, 156 f. Examined for LexLep on 20th April 2024.
Image in Müller 1913: tav. V (drawing), Caramella & De Giuli 1993: 231 (drawing).
Inscribed in three lines in the upper area of the stela (length line 1 46 cm, line 2 48.5 cm; distance from top 22 cm); lines 1 and 2 are written between two horizontal frame lines (distance 24 cm). The script is Latin, the letters are executed with serifs. Mainardis 2009: 344 suggests that the for filius is written in a third line because it was felt to be a novel addition to the traditionally two-word name formula. Remnants of red paint have recently been detected in the grooves of the letters and will be tested to determine whether they are ancient (Elisa Lanza p.c.).
The text is a Latinised name formula with individual name and filiation; both names are etymologically Celtic (see the word pages).
See the object page on the dating. Based on the stela shape, presence of a frame and possible remnants of Lepontic influence in the layout, but not the letter forms, VB·21 is likely to be one of the later, though not among the very latest of the attested Verbano gravestones.
