The Bronze of Ascoli was a bronze tablet discovered in Rome in 1908, which became notable for the study of the ancient Iberian language, because it contained the names of Iberian horsemen of the Turma Sallvitana, who received Roman citizenship in 89 BCE after their participation in the siege of Asculum (modern Ascoli Piceno).[1]
