Collects and examines the Greek-alphabet inscriptions in Oscan, which was spoken in Southern Italy in the second half of the first millennium BC. It provides new insights into the sociolinguistics, epigraphy and linguistics of ancient Italy, showing that bilingualism involving Greek was key to the evolving use of the alphabet.
