The Novallas bronze tablet: An inscription in the Celtiberian language and the Latin alphabet from Spain Beltrán Lloris, Francisco Simón Cornago, Ignacio Blas Celtiberian language Palaeohispanic epigraphy Bronze epigraphy Latinization Romanization Roman Spain This research was undertaken within the framework of the recently created Institute for Research into Heritage and Humanities (IPH) at the University of Zaragoza and the Hiberus Group of the Aragon autonomous government. More specifically, it was developed through the research projects "El final de las escrituras paleohispanicas" and "Escritura cotidiana. Alfabetizacion, contacto cultural y transformacion social en Hispania citerior entre la conquista romana y el final de la Antiguedad," both funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, and in which M. J. Estaran, J. Herrera, G. de Tord, and A. Gonzalez have participated, as well as the authors. We would like to register our thanks to H. Arcusa for the information about the excavations in recent years at the site of Chicharroya III; to J. J. Bienes and J. A. Hernandez, who played key roles in the recovery of the Novallas Bronze; and to I. Aguilera, director of the Zaragoza Museum, for the resources provided for studying the piece. The Novallas Bronze may be considered one of the most important epigraphic finds in recent years in Spain. It is a fragment of a public document datable to the last decades of the 1st c. BCE, composed in the Celtiberian language but written in the Latin alphabet. The Novallas Bronze is not only one of the latest inscriptions composed in this language – over half a century later than the famous inscriptions from Contrebia Belaisca – but also the longest Celtiberian document written in the Latin alphabet known thus far. This paper offers a complete publication of this exceptional document, as well as an analysis of the principal developments that the artifact illuminates and the consequent implications for the transformations that the Celtiberian people underwent during the transition from Republic to Empire, with particular focus on the process of Latinization. 2022-02-01T12:10:19Z 2022-02-01T12:10:19Z 2021-12-29 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Beltrán Lloris, F...
