Commentary

Animal bone; classified as bone of a pig ("Sus scrofa"; cp. Marinetti 2003: 114; Marinetti 2004: 415).
On one side an inscription.
In the recently released study about the Raetic inscriptions by Marchesini the bone is listed with "MLR 123", an autopsy was effected (cp. MLR: 141 [MLR 123]).
So far not autopsied by the Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum. The indications follow the information given in literature (cp. below the bibliography).
