Cippus Perusinus, Etruscan stone monument in Perugia, Italy
The Perusinus Cippus features a two-sided stone inscription containing 46 lines of Etruscan text carved during the 3rd century BC.
The monument documents a legal agreement between two Etruscan families, the Velthina and Afuna, regarding shared property rights and tomb access regulations.
The inscription represents one of the longest surviving Etruscan texts, providing insights into legal practices and property management in ancient Etruscan society.
