Abstract


The present work attends to the study of an epigraph from Villamiel (Cáceres) of casy reading but problematic interpretation. The rustic character of this document is not obstacle to appreciate the fact that in carving it, it was intended to accomodate the support to the form of a terminus. This, together with the evident presence of abreviations in the three first lines of the text, allows us to consider this inscription as a cippus related to technical labours ofland-surveying, with the purpose of being read by the mensores, perhaps related with the measurement of the ager per extremitatem mensura comprehensus which Frontinus refers to. The mention of two communities. unknown until now, is also remarkable: Vinia (or lnia ) Campegiensis and Valseni.
