TM Gallery info The Agnone Tablet (TM 170841) is a bronze tablet of the size of a sheet of paper. It dates to the second century BC and comes from Agnone, a small village in south to central Italy. It is one of the few longer texts in Oscan, the main but still rather poorly attested Italic language. Discovered in 1848 and studied by Mommsen when he learnt about its existence, it was sold to the British Museum in 1873 where it is today.
One side of the tablet contains what seem to be religious guidelines for offerings; the other has a list of divinities worshiped by the Samnites (the local population), and specifies that only those who pay their religious dues were admitted to the sanctuary.
