Commentary

First published in Orsi 1882: 15–16 (n. 8), fig. 1.8. Autopsied by TIR in October 2014.

Images in Lunz 1974: Taf. 6,6 (drawing), LIR (drawings).

Of the axes found in the hoard, published by Orsi, Whatmough mentioned five bearing characters (see Addendum p. 628); only one of those was judged to be a potential inscription by Schumacher. However, as the latter himself remarks, given context and dating, BZ-17 is highly unlikely to be a Raetic inscription, but belongs with the assortment of characters often found on bronze axes from the Hallstatt era – see the corresponding section on Non-script notational systems.

On the other side, a symbol "a caporale" symbol4 s.
