What defines an Etruscan city or community? How did they arise and how did they create their own identities? To understand the major Etruscan cities better, we must also examine the smaller settlements. How can we trace how communities developed differently from cities? Did these places play a distinctive role in comparison to the cities? Addressing these queries using a broader archaeological gaze allows for a deeper understanding of Etruscan customs, art, and culture. With this series, we hope to shed light on the social, religious, economic, architectural, artistic, and civic fabric of Etruscan cities and communities.
This richly illustrated volume provides the first broad synthesis of findings at Poggio Civitate, one of the best-preserved Etruscan archaeological sites.
A rare glimpse into an ancient Etruscan community that provides evidence for how smaller communities could flourish despite centuries of nearby wars with the Romans.
With essays by multiple generations of Etruscan scholars, this volume offers the most complete English-language overview of Veii, an ancient Etruscan city that was the ally and rival of Rome for over three hundred years.
