Luzaga's Bronze
The Luzaga Bronze
The Bronze of Luzaga is a plate of 16 x 15 centimeters which has, in 8 lines, 123 celtiberian characters engraved in the metal with a bradawl or similar, and which has 7 holes, perhaps in order to be held. Since its discovery in the late nineteenth century, it has been lost.
