A New Interpretation of an Etruscan Inscription from Rome (REE 47/29)
Abstract
It is a new attempt to interpret an Etruscan inscription, found in Rome near the
Saint’Omobono Church, during excavations of the temples of Fortuna and Mater
Matuta, dated back to the second quarter of the sixth century BCE. Critical analysis
of the previous studies makes to reject the interpretations of forerunners. The author comes to conclusion that the plate in form of a lion with inscription (REE 47/29) was a dedication for the temple from a descendant of Syrian ivory cutters who had assimilated in Rome under the reign of kings of Etruscan origin.
