IOVILAE, or JOVILAE

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 732 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
IOVILAE, or JOVILAE , a latinized form of iuvilas, the name given by the Oscan-speaking Campanians in the 5th, 4th and 3rd centuries B.C. to an interesting class of monuments, not yet fully understood. They all
bear
  crests or heraldic emblems proper to some family or group of families, and
inscriptions
  directing the annual performance of certain ceremonies on fixed days. While some of them are dedicated to Jupiter (in a
special
  capacity, which our present knowledge of Oscan is insufficient to determine), others were certainly found attached to
graves
 .
See the articles OSCA LINGUA,
CAPUA
 , CUMAE and
MESSAPII
 . The text of all those yet discovered (at
Capua
  and Cumae), with particulars of similar usages elsewhere in Italy and other historical and archaeological detail, is given by R. S. Conway in The
Italic
  Dialects (
Cambridge
 , 1897, pp. 101 ff.). A briefer but valuable discussion of the
chief
  characteristics of the group will be found in R. von Planta's Oskisch-umbrische Grammalik, .i. 631 if., and a summary description in C. D. Buck's Osco- Umbrian Grammar, 247. (R. S. C.)
