DescriptionEarly Greek or Latin Inscription at Osteria dell'Osa.svg
English: Discovered in a double burial with an inhumed male and a cremated female at Osteria dated to the Latial IIB period.
The text has various interpretations:
Related to Greek "eulinos," meaning "spinning well." Perhaps this term was chosen due to the general connections between weaving and female burials in Latial society.
Maybe connected to Greek "euoi," a chant used in the Cult of Dionysus
Maybe the Latin phrase "ni lue," meaning "do not untie me."
The depicted text is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it is not a “literary work” or other protected type in sense of the local copyright law. Facts, data, and unoriginal information which is common property without sufficiently creative authorship in a general typeface or basic handwriting, and simple geometric shapes are not protected by copyright.
This tag does not generally apply to all images of texts. Particular countries can have different legal definition of the “literary work” as the subject of copyright and different courts' interpretation practices. Some countries protect almost every written work, while other countries protect distinctively artistic or scientific texts and databases only. Extent of creativeness, function and length of the text can be relevant. The copyright protection can be limited to the literary form – the included information itself can be excluded from protection.
