, several inscribed bronze tablets dating from the 1st and 2d cent. , discovered in 1444 at Gubbio, Italy (the ancient Iguvium and later Eugubium). Most of them are still preserved there. They set forth the acts of the Attidian Brethren, a corporation of 12 priests. The tablets proved an important aid in understanding the ancient Umbrian language and supplied information on ancient Italian religious rites.
