#EpigraphyTuesday The Cippus Perusinus is a stone tablet (cippus) discovered on the hill of San Marco, near Perugia, #Italy, in 1822. The tablet bears 46 lines of incised #Etruscan text, about 130 words - 3rd or 2nd century BC. (See Alt. For more) #Archaeology #History #writing
The cippus, which seems to have been a border stone, appears to display a text dedicating a legal contract between the Etruscan families of Velthina (from Perugia) and Afuna (from Chiusi), regarding the sharing or use, including water rights, of a property upon which there was a tomb belonging to the noble Velthinas.
