La tribu Velina en Mallorca y los nombres de Palma y Pollentia

Los ciudadanos de Palma y Pollentia son los únicos fuera de la Península Italiana adscritos a la tribu Velina. A partir del texto de Plin. N.H. 18 (110-111) se propone establecer una relación entre este hecho -no explicado hasta ahora-, los nombres de ambas ciudades y el origen de los colonos en ellas establecidos por Cecilio Metelo, que habrían procedido de la región del Piceno. Esta hipótesis encuentra una confirmación en la tipología de las estelas funerarias con representación de la porta Ditis, presentes en Mallorca y muy abundantes en la región umbroapenínica.The citizens of Palma and Pollentia are the only ones outside of the Italian Peninsula to have been assigned to the tribe Velina. Starting from Plin. N.H. 18 (110-111), it is proposed to establish a relation between this fact -which remains unexplained-, the names of both cities and the origin of the colonists, settled there by Caecilius Metellus and most probably coming from the region of Picenum. This hypothesis is confirmed by the typology of Majorcan funerary stelae representing the porta Ditis, very abundant in the Umbrian-Appeninian region

Special attention is turned to thymiatheria shaped like a woman's head and to some pieces of statues with a pig in their bosom
