Commentary
Image in De Giuli 1979: 249, fig. 4 (photo = Mainardis 2009: 337, fig. 5).
Fragment of the rounded top of a mica schist stela, found in secondary context together with VB·22 Stresa, VB·23 Stresa, VB·24 Stresa; see Brisino for the find circumstances and context. The shape of the Roman stelae at Brisino (also VB·24 Stresa) with the rounded top is similar to that of one of the epichoric stelae from Levo (VB·27 Stresa); De Giuli 1979: 251 mentions the possibility that the Brisino stones may come from the same site as the finds in Levo, though it seems quite possible that a pre-Roman/Roman necropolis existed in Brisino in the area of the Chiesa di Sant'Albino. Cf. Mainardis 2009: 337 f., who assumes the existence of a single workshop, pointing 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. Indeed, 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. The present document is dated to the 1st c. BC in AE 1982, no. 414, to the 1st c. AD in the Epigraphische Datenbank Heidelberg (HD001984); a dating to the late 1st c. BC or early 1st c. AD seems most likely (cf. Cerrione and the gravestone from Bee (Lanza & Poletti Ecclesia 2021) dated to the early 1st c. AD). See also Caramella & De Giuli 1993: 209.
