Commentary
Images in Müller 1913: tav. IV and V (drawings), Piana Agostinetti 2004: 194, fig. 10.54 (drawing), Mainardis 2009: 345, fig. 8 (photo).
Large rectangular mica schist stela which formed the covering of a tomb found by the architect Filippo Ponti in 1838 in Zoverallo, probably belonging to the sporadically discovered necropolis (Barocelli 1918: 89). Detailed description in Piana Agostinetti 2004: 193 f. The shape of the stone is similar to that of two of the stelae from Levo (one epichoric, one Roman). 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. Mainardis 2009: 337 f. correctly 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 dates the document to the middle of the 1st c. BC – a high dating which matches his datings of the Roman Stresa stelae; we prefer a later dating (cf. the Roman inscriptions from Stresa).
