I mean two As beside each other/right next to each other.What do you mean by "two As"? There are many words containing two As, but maybe you mean something more specific, like two As right next to each other? Or are you talking about phonetics, as in Latin having two sorts of As with a slightly different sound?
How curious that you would know that...Yeah, there's the attested MAARCVS, but it just stands for a later MARCVS pronounced as Mārcus, clearly an attempt for a more phonetic transcription in the earlier case.
I think Faliscans also, but I'd have to look around.[LAT]
Ita! Priſci quoque Itali, ut puta, Oſce loquentes, vocalium longitudinem indicabant per duplices litteras:
fluusaí - flōra < *flōsa
aasas - āra < *āsa
fíísnú - fānum < *fāsnom
Viínikiís - Vīnicius < *wīno-
trístaamentud - testāmentō - < Lat. *tristāmentom < *tri-sto-
Staatiis - Stātius < *?

Ancient Italians as well, e.g. Oscan language speakers, indicated long vowels by duplicating them.
Apparently not. De Vaan's word index at the end of his etymological dictionary lists Faliscan mate (Latin māter, Oscan genitive maatreís), karai (Latin dative cārae), cubat (Old Latin -āt: *cubāt).I think Faliscans also, but I'd have to look around.
