Commentary
Published in Rossi 1672: 404–407. Examined by TIR in November 2015.
The object, erroneously called a "spada" (sword), was long only known from Rossi's publication in a catalogue of Conte Lodovico Moscardo's collection of antiquities. After the rediscovery by Marinetti in the 1980s, it was identified as a skewer of the sort which was used in ritual feasts by Salzani 1984: 793. Salzani compares the piece to similar ones from Padova and Magdalenska gora (the latter longer than the Verona spit; Weiss 1999c: 66, fig. 66 a–b). Cf. now also the similar spit bearing a Camunic inscription from Sabbio Chiese (Baioni et al. 2022: 770–771).
Salzani 1984: 781 dates the Spada to the early 4th century, to which the Slovenian specimen can be dated by context (also Gambacurta et al. 2002: 185 [no. 19]). De Marinis 1988: 121, however, lists the Spada among inscribed objects dated to the 5th century; Marinetti herself (Marinetti 1987: 138 f. [n. 5]) dates it as early as the 6th–5th century.
The find place is indicated as Ca' dei Cavri, a fraction of Bussolengo, in the original publication (p. 404 "Campagna Caudina"); if this is accurate, the Spada is the only object with a Raetic inscription from the right bank of the Adige south of Trento.
