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.
