Tabula Cortonensis

c. 200 BCE · 3rd century BCE

The Tabula Cortonensis is an inscribed Etruscan bronze tablet found near Cortona, Italy, and first published in 2000. Dating from around 200 BCE, it carries about 200 words, making it one of the longest Etruscan texts known, and appears to record a sale or lease of land, naming the parties and witnesses. Found broken into eight pieces, one of which is missing, it is kept in the Etruscan museum at Cortona.
