The cippus, which seems to have been a border stone, appears to display a text dedicating a legal contract between the Etruscan families of Velthina (from Perugia) and Afuna (from Chiusi), regarding the sharing or use, including water rights, of a property upon which there was a tomb belonging to the noble Velthinas.
#EpigraphyTuesday

Dear MAGA: Remember when Qanon was going to work with Trump to arrest all those pedophiles in Epstein's files?
So... ... What happened there?
Rubio Today: Itβs false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. Thatβs not what I said.
Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didnβt act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.
Moulton: He ought to think about the war that he didn't go to. That he allowed another American to go to in his place when he dodged the draft, making up some excuse about a sore foot so that he didn't go have to go serve in Vietnam. There is an example of a war where we sought regime change

You know what truly infuriates me?
That a handful of wealthy elites, driven purely by greed, are destabilising, empoverishing, polluting the world for their own gain, whilst the vast majority of ordinary people reject their corrupt and self-serving agendas!
And this should infuriate ALL of us!

WASHINGTON (AP) β Roy Cooper wins Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in North Carolina primary election.
It's time for MAGA Republicans in the House AND the Senate to wake the hell up and move over to the Democratic side right now and get Trump under control.
Donald Trump is insane.

She paid hundreds of thousands for life-saving open-heart surgery and only avoided bankruptcy because she had solid insurance.
For anyone without coverage or savings, the same surgery could ruin them or cost their life. Thatβs how broken this system is. #TrumpsWarOnOurEconomy
While the McDonaldβs CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...
McDonaldβs is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M β over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.
