Lapis Satricanus
The Lapis Satricanus, or, "stone of Satricum", was a yellow stone found in the ruins of the ancient Satricum , near Borgo Montello , a village of southern Lazio, dated late 6th century to early 5th century BC. It reads:
(?)IEI STETERAI POPLIOSIO VALESIOSIO SVODALES MAMARTEI
or, "The (?) dedicated this, as companions of Publius Valerius, to Mars."
The Popliosio Valesiosio is probably a reference to Publius Valerius Publicola , a republican senator of Rome.
