Abstract
jats:pThe Oscan law of the jats:italicTabula Bantina</jats:italic> (jats:italicjats:sctbo</jats:sc></jats:italic>), the longest Oscan text found to this date, is the product of a politically significant time in Roman history in which the Italian jats:italicsocii</jats:italic> revolted against, and tried to assert independence from, Rome. In spite of this, the jats:italicjats:sctbo</jats:sc></jats:italic> largely reads like a Roman law, particularly in vocabulary and phrasing. The aim of this article is to reveal the extent to which the jats:italicjats:sctbo</jats:sc></jats:italic> was influenced by Latin legal language. It will identify several remarkable syntactic, stylistic and epigraphic aspects of this Oscan law and compare them to conventions in the Latin legal register.</jats:p>
