This paper is about a gold inscribed ring with a dedication in oscan to the goddess Angitia. It was published in the 1884 auction Castellani’s collection catalogue and was known, in the scientific literature, as coming “from Aesernia.” It’s now lost, but on the basis of paleographic analysis, it seems to be one of the earliest records of the goddess’ cult by an offerer of Campanian or Samnite origins, Stenis Kalaviis, who had probably given it, as votive gift, at the lucus Angitiae, located on the shore of the Fucinus lake.

It was published in the 1884 auction Castellani’s collection catalogue and was known, in the scientific literature, as coming “from Aesernia.” It’s now lost, but on the basis of paleographic analysis, it seems to be one of the earliest records of the goddess’ cult by an offerer of Campanian or Samnite origins, Stenis Kalaviis, who had probably given it, as votive gift, at the lucus Angitiae, located on the shore of the Fucinus lake.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
