Etruscan Inscription — This is a detail of a large Etruscan ritual calander from Santa Maria Capua Vetere, Italy. The Etruscan language is preserved in about 10,000 short texts; the grave, votive, and ownership inscriptions. Only four longer texts are known so far, as this Capua clay tablet. However, the right-to-left script based on the Greek alphabet can be read but is difficult to translate. Clay. 5th century BCE. It is on display at the Altes Museum in Berlin, Germany.
