This book examines the inscriptions discovered in southern Italy, providing new insights into the Oscan language spoken by the Samnites during the 5th to 1st centuries BC. The author attempts to translate and interpret the inscriptions with the aid of related dialects such as Umbrian and Latin, revealing aspects of Oscan grammar and vocabulary. The book also explores the history and culture of the Samnites, providing a glimpse into their social and political organization, their interactions with neighboring communities, and their eventual absorption into the Roman Republic. By shedding light on a previously marginalized language and culture, this book contributes to our understanding of ancient Italy and the linguistic diversity of the Mediterranean region.
