Text Appearing Before Image:
no traces of Etruscan monuments have been found, with the exception of a few graffiti on local vases made in imitation of Greek ware. Even these graffiti, they continue, employ the Oscan alphabet. The lack of Etruscan monuments at Capua, however, was not sufficient to impair the strength of the explicit declarations of ancient authors. For, the lack of Etruscan inscriptions and monuments at Rome does not brand as false the statements of the ancients regarding Etruscan supremacy in Rome and in Latium. In the one case as in the other,such domination was not of long duration. At Capua,indeed (according to the testimony of Cato and of Livy), it continued throughout half a century only—namely, from471 to 424 B.C. The weakness of the arguments employed to invalidate the declarations of Cato and of Polybius has been most clearly shown by the discovery of the tegula of which we present a copy. It was found at Capua, in the early part of the year 1898, not far from the Roman amphitheatre which is 250

THE ETRUSCAN TEGULA FROM CAPUA.(BERLIN MUSEUM) THE ETRUSCAN TEGULA 251 known under the name of Quattordici Ponti. Like other Etruscan inscriptions, our tegula refuses to reveal its secret.This was immediately recognized by Buecheler, the illustrious philologist at Bonn, who first edited the inscription.To but small results, too, did the laborious efforts of Elia Lattes lead. The latter, however, deserves the credit of having more minutely examined the inscription from its palaeographical side. On the one hand, Buecheler, giving due weight to the affirmations of the ancients relative to Etruscan domination at Capua, assigned the tegula to the fifth century—-the time when such dominion came to an end. Lattes, on the other hand, has brought into relief the more recent palaeographical character of the monument.We are therefore obliged to date it a century or two later. Tradition tells us that towards 438 B.C. (or, perhaps, 424) Capua was wrested from the Etruscans by the Samnite peoples who had d
