The Authors present seven unpublished pre-roman inscription on ceramic from the excavations carried out in Moneta and Gorani streets by Anna Ceresa of the Archaeological Superintendency of Lombardy. They are all written with the so called Lugano alphabet, mostly of the latest period (4rd/3rd-1st century BC) and they all relate to personal names, often in shortened version. Among them two inscriptions (se and pu) from Moneta street can be dated to LT B period, most probably to the earliest phase (second half of the 4th century BC); other two from the same site (tuit and arki) can be assigned to the end of the 4th and the beginning of the 3rd century BC. The most interesting inscription is kituaretos, from Gorani street, whose date is not sure, missing the entire vase and being found in a reshuffled level; the name could be the union of kintu (“the first”) and ateratos, already known on a vase from Solduno, formed by ate- (intensive form) and -rato-.
