BILINGUES BRUTTACES. IL PLURILINGUISMO DI UNA CITTÀ DELLA MAGNA GRECIA ATTRAVERSO I SUOI TESTI: IL CASO DI PETELIA

The osco-greek bilingualism in a Bruzio town: Petelia. In the light of both epigraphic and literary texts. A new tabella defixionis from Bruzio suggests new points of reflection on the phenomena of the osco-Greek bilingualism in ancient Calabria. Basing on this very problematic text, we’ll try to analyze how much it can be ascribed to the specific context that has produced him, how much it is referable to the regional environment and, finally, how much it has reverted in a larger network in the circle of Greek and Latin up to the romance development.
