Belfiore concludes concerning this text: "On the whole, iconographic, paleographic, and technical features suggest that this stele is a forgery." She comes to the same conclusion about all other inscriptions heretofore considered to contain North Picene inscriptions. References Bibliography Belfiore, V., L. Sefano, N.
