Commentary
Mica schist stela with curved top; see Levo for the find circumstances and context. Bought by Fabretti for the museum in Torino (De-Vit in Ferrero 1889: 262). The shape of the stela is similar to that of VB·28 Stresa from Levo, which bears an epichoric inscription. 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; cf. Mainardis 2009: 337 f., who 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. The present document is dated to the middle of the 1st c. BC by Morandi; we prefer to date the Roman stelae from the Verbano to the late 1st c. BC or early 1st c. AD (cf. Cerrione and the gravestone from Bee (Lanza & Poletti Ecclesia 2021) dated to the early 1st c. AD).
