New reading and interpretation of a Celtiberian stele from the second half of the 2nd century BC found in Langa de Duero (Soria): retukeno esto ÿeltis, "of Retugenos be it the stele". The archaic inscription, itself apparently shaped as an axe, features an axe at the beginning of the word ke.l.ti.s 'stele' (*kel-ti-s) and may have been commemorating the famous Numantian leader 8Rhtogénhj, called Karaúnioj 'Lovable'. Note the imperative without suffixed subject pronoun and its still preserved -oº #.El presente trabajo colectivo propone una nueva interpretación de la inscripción celtibérica sobre estela de piedra caliza procedente de Langa de Duero (Soria), cuya lectura, desde su descubrimiento en 1928, ha resultado problemática dado que uno de los signos existentes en el epígrafe era identificado como una letra 1 , correspondiendo, por el contrario, a un símbolo 2 probablemente alusivo al estatus del personaje al que está dedicada la pieza.

the editorial Committee of the journal Veleia decided to dedicate the 2016 special dossier to commemorating the second centenary of the publication of Franz Bopp's work, Über das Conjugationssystem der Sanskritsprache in Vergleichung mit jedem der griechischen, latenischen, persischen und germanischen Sprache 1 (Frankfurt a. M.: andreäische Buchhandlung), commonly considered the foundational work of comparative linguistics as a scientific discipline and of indo-european linguistics as its concrete form as regards an academic discipline. Having received the assignment to prepare the dossier, we three editors focused on its general features, agreeing on themes which would be interesting to address within the limits allowed by the journal, as well as the authors most suited to carrying this out. we wanted to combine several aspects at the same time. on the one hand was the obvious commemorative nature of the plan, for which it was appropriate to allocate one contribution to commenting on the figure of Franz Bopp himself and evaluating his contribution to the creation of comparative linguistics taking into account the scientific context of the time. on the other hand, however, we did not want the dossier to be exclusively historiographical, but instead we thought that the commemoration offered a good opportunity to reflect on several aspects, both theoretical and practical, of the discipline through its two-hundred-year lifespan. we prepared the content according to a twin focus: some contributions would concentrate on demonstrating both the most significant achievements realised by indo-european linguistics in this period and the most important problems it confronts today, specifically addressing certain particular aspects such as morphology and grammaticalization, synthetic reconstruction and the vision of the indo-european family and its dialectical relations, with special attention paid to anatolian. we also thought that it would be appropriate to offer a general presentation of the achievements realised by comparative linguistics in other linguistic families. an obvious case was provided by the work on amerindian languages, which are diametrically opposed to the indo-european languages as regards their documented tradition but which, thanks to the works of leonard Bloomfield on the reconstruction of Proto-algonquian, implied a benchmark in order to validate the universal application of the comparative method.Choosing the authors to be assigned with the contributions was an easy task: they would be specialists of international standing in their respective fields of research, and if possible they would have had some prior academic relationship with our institution. as such, in order to comment on 1 ' on the conjugational system of the sanskrit language in comparison with that of the Greek, latin, Persian and Germanic language'.

Resumen: presentamos un nuevo fragmento de inscripción procedente del yacimiento romano de Veleia (iruña de oca, Álava). la inscripción fue descubierta durante los trabajos arqueológicos realizados en el cubo oeste de la puerta sur de la muralla, donde había sido reutilizada como sillar. el fragmento contiene parte de un epígrafe con una posible mención a un magistrado local. si la hipótesis de lectura es correcta, se trataría del primer testimonio sobre la existencia de duumviri en la ciuitas Veleianorum.Palabras clave: Veleia, epigrafía latina, ciuis romanus, IIvir, flamen.Abstract: We present a new fragment of an inscription from the roman site of Veleia (iruña de oca, Álava). the inscription was found while carrying out archaeological work on the western tower of the southern door of the wall, where it had been used as an ashlar. the fragment records part of an epigraph with a possible mention of a local magistrate. if our interpretation hypothesis is correct, it would be the first testimony of the existence of duumviri in the «ciuitas Veleianorum».
