Commentary

Along via Strera near the fraction Loreto, north of Oleggio (exact location unclear), 268 tombs (mainly incineration) of a late La Tène/Roman necropolis (last quarter of 2nd c. BC–4th c. AD) were excavated between 1988 and 1995 by the Soprintendenza Archeologica del Piemonte. See Spagnolo Garzoli 1989 (tombs 1–124), Spagnolo Garzoli 1999, and Gambari 1999 on the epichoric and Latin epigraphic documents.
