The Iberian lead sheet from the Roman encampment of La Palma - Nova Classis (l’Aldea)

This paper studies a small sheet of lead from surface surveys conducted at the site of La Palma (L’Aldea), identified with the Roman encampment of the third century BC named Nova Classis by the ancient sources. The lead sheet is highly fragmented and presents an Iberian inscription of only two segments. As for the vocabulary, it has to be pointed out that the segment bitiukin fits as a new variant of a paradigm, probably verbal, common on lead
sheets and that was also present in the biteukin variant in the last lead sheet from Monteró
(Camarasa).
