Summary

After more than twenty-five years from the discovery of the Lapis Satricanus - in 1977 in the foundations of the Mater Matuta temple II in Satricum - many matters related to the epigraph are still open. One of the most important issues concerns the placement of the inscription inside the linguistic diasystem of Central Italy. In this paper, a short version of Lucchesi-Magni 2002,1 focus my attention on this aspect specifically, evaluating all previous hypotheses and then trying to present an alternative solution based not only on the historical and cultural data of the Lapis Satricanus, but also on the archaeological, epigraphical and, of course, linguistic ones.
