Commentary
First published in Baldacci 1978.
Images in Lejeune 1988: 28, fig. 14 (photo) and 29, fig. 15 (drawing).
The alphabetically and linguistically Latin part of the Vercelli bilingua is inscribed in eight lines of large letters (though their height decreases after the third line) on the upper part of the stone; taking up three times as much space as the vernacular part, it was evidently primary. It was carved by a different hand and with a different instrument (wider and more rounded) than the vernacular VC·1.2 (Baldacci 1978: 336 f.).
Baldacci 1978: 337 f., based on the letter forms (of which only open is somewhat archaic) and the Classical Latin phonetics, dates the inscription to the second half of the 1st c. BC, i.e. after the Lex Roscia, which granted citizenship to the inhabitants of Gallia Transpadana in 49 BC. Lejeune 1988: 26 f. vaguely tends toward a somewhat higher dating, noting the early onset of Romanisation in the area and the absence of a Latin binomen.
