pieces, with the word ITALIA upon them, explained 
by^Sig. (32) Annibale degli Abati Olivieri, in his firft 
diftertation ; and from a fimilar one in my little ca-

believe, that both the denarius of the Veturian family 
and the coin by me here referred to our Veturius did in 
reality exhibit the name of the general of the Marti, 
and fir ft appeared about the 663d year of Rome. With 
regard to the word 4V133T\3, or VETVRIVS, men- 
tioned in the beginning of this paragraph, I fhall be°- 
leave to remark, that it might as eafily have been 
transformed into VETTIVS, or VETIVS, in the 
manufcripts and printed editions of fome antient 
writers, as PAPIVS into APONIVS in thofb of 
others; and that the (33) word APONIVS, for 
PAPIVS, ftands in the text of Diodorus Siculus, as 
cited by Photius. Vv ith which obfervations I fhall 
conclude what I have here to fay, in defence of my 
Iebtion of this Etrulcan infeription.
