Abstract
A recent revision in the division of words in the long Etruscan text known as "Cippus Perusinus" helps to refine our knowledge of its content. At present, Etruscan epigraphic evidence seems to suggest that landed property in Etruscan cities was, at least theoretically, reserved only for citizens; non-citizens willing to acquire estates were subject to complex procedures involving the intervention of some public authority. The Cippus Perusinus records some kind of deal between the Perusian family Vel?ina and the Clusine family Afuna; the latter seems to have been particularly active in expanding its estates outside the Clusine territory.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
