Abstract
In this paper 19 new inscriptions in the Lepontic alphabet are presented, along with two fragments featuring decorative drawings. The archaeological discussed here are the results of the excavation of three sites in Milan, conducted between 2013 and 2020. The details of the archaeological and chronological context of these finds are laid out in Section 1 (by A.M. Fedeli and F. Roncoroni), while section 2 (by P. Giusteri) contains a linguistic analysis of the most significant inscriptions found. Section 3 consists of an illustrated catalogue of the 21 inscribed fragments featured in this paper, in which each find is accompanied by its physical description and a brief discussion of the proposed reading.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
