In Stabio, S. Pietro, three stelae were found with Lepontic inscriptions. This third stele was found in 1875, as a cover of a tomb. It is ca. 100 cm high and 40 cm wide. It has an inscription in Lepontic characters: KOMONEOS VARSILEOS. This writing is read from right to left.
It was created during Iron Age, late 2nd to early 1st Century BC.
It is now in The "Civico Museo Archeologico", Milano.
The other two stelae found at Stabio, S. Pietro are in the Raetian Museum at Chur. Please see the page there.
