Lapis Satricanus, Ancient inscription stone in Satricum, Italy
The yellow stone contains inscriptions in archaic Latin language, discovered within recycled materials used in the construction of an ancient temple.
Archaeologists uncovered the Lapis Satricanus during excavations led by C.M. Stibbe in 1977, dating it between the late 6th and early 5th centuries BC.
The inscription mentions Publius Valerius and indicates the presence of companions dedicated to Mars, revealing social and religious practices of early Roman society.
The stone displays unique genitive singular endings that differ from classical Latin forms, making it valuable for linguistic research and understanding language evolution.
The text reads IEI STETERAI POPLIOSIO VALESIOSIO SVODALES MAMARTEI, translating to companions of Publius Valerius dedicating something to Mars.
