Commentary
Images in Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 38 (photo and drawing).
Schist stela, broken into two pieces and part of the lower section missing. One of the fragments was found near the border of grave 127 of the Cerrione necropolis, dated to phase 1 (100–40 BC), specifically 70–40 BC based on the grave furniture, the other without immediate context in the north-western sector. See Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 25, 37–39.
