A Short History of the Etruscans the Etruscan Non-Polis 4 the Etruscan Non-Polis Urban Growth in the Archaic Period Piazza
A Short History of the Etruscans The Etruscan Non-polis 4 The Etruscan Non-polis Urban Growth in the Archaic Period Piazza d’Armi at Veii and the earliest architectural terracottas Between the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, some archaeologists believed that the high terrace to the south of the main plateau of Veii known as Piazza d’Armi was the acropolis of the Etruscan city; George Dennis and eminent scholars Luigi Canina and Rodolfo Lanciani were of this opinion, but not everyone agreed. Its high position, naturally defended on three sides, was notable, but the terrace was separated from the plateau of the city by the gorge of the Fosso della Mola. To Ettore Gabrici, Neapolitan archaeologist then working at the Villa Giulia Museum, the area looked like an uncultivated patch with a few traces of ancient remains. In 1913, he went on to conduct the first ever stratigraphic excavation in the middle of the terrace, and brought to light painted tiles, parts of drystone walls and an elliptical structure dressed with tufa blocks, which he assumed belonged to a very early date prior to the flourishing of the Etruscans, but which we now know to be a cistern. Less than ten years later, field investigation in the area continued under the direction of Enrico Stefani who subsequently published the finds in 1944 (Stefani, 1944, p. 143). Among them were Iron Age huts, a series of buildings with stone blocks arranged according to an almost orthogonal plan, the remains of the ancient walls related to a large gate that, he saw, connected the terrace to the ancient city to the north (Figure 4.1). -
Early Roman History to the Fall of Tarquin
Early Roman History to the Fall of Tarquin I. Latium and Rome – the site of Rome The plains of Latium were fertile, being composed of a thick layer of alluvial clay with a covering of volcanic lava. The lowlands of were liable to become waterlogged, but by the period of the dawn of Roman history they were systematically drained. The surrounding hillsides were pleasantly wooded with beech trees. Latium was separated from the eastern face of Italy by the Apennine range, which was only easily traversable via a road through the Anio valley and the Lacus Fucinus. The Tiber is not a long river, but it carries a lot of water, particularly in summer, when it is not fordable below the position of Rome. Rome was situated at the last point where the river could be forded. Rome lies on the border between Latium and Etruria and is fifteen miles from the estuary of the Tiber. The West bank of the Tiber has two separate ridges, the Janiculan and the Vatican. The East bank is contained within a single arc of high ground with four spurs – the Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline and Cealian. Inside this arc lie three main hills – the Capitoline, the Palatine and the Aventine. Of these the Capitoline was the smallest, but also detached from the lower ground on all sides, so the most defensible. The ancient Latins kept no records of their origins. According to later Roman and Greek authors the Latins originated from a mixture of Aboriginees, Ligurians and Sicels. During the early Iron Age the region was only thinly cultivated. -

Vittorio CREA e Vincenzo ROSSI La città di Veio: un’antica civiltà parte seconda CULTURA La visita di Veio Provenendo da Isola Farnese, la visita alla città può proseguire dal Santuario di Portonaccio. Lasciato il borgo, si prende Via Tenuta Campetti, che ricalca probabilmente un antico percorso, fino al Fosso della Mola, all’altezza dell’antico mulino ad acqua (documentato già nell’XI secolo, sostituito nel secolo scorso dalla struttura attual- mente conservata, rima- sta in funzione fino agli anni ‘50), posto nei pressi di una piccola suggestiva cascata. Superato il fosso, si raggiunge l’ingresso degli scavi in località Portonac- cio (il nome deriva dal- l’arco qui presente). Percorrendo una strada romana basolata, si entra nell’a- rea del santuario extraurbano dedicato a Minerva. All’interno di un grande tèmenos (recinto) erano ubicati, oltre al tempio, altri edifici fun- zionali al culto oracolare. Il complesso ha subito gravi danni a seguito del cedimento di gran parte della vasta piat- taforma tufacea su cui si svilup- pa l’articolato gruppo di strut- ture.

Greece, Etruria and Rome: Relationships and Receptions*
doi: 10.2143/AWE.9.0.2056300 AWE 9 (2010) 43-61 GREECE, ETRURIA AND ROME: RELATIONSHIPS AND RECEPTIONS* DAVID RIDGWAY for Sybille, and in memory of Francesca Romana Abstract This paper is inspired by the hope that a permanent teaching post in Etruscan and Early Italic Studies will be established at Oxford University in the foreseeable future. Its aim is to illustrate some of the reasons why it is singularly appropriate to include the study of the Etruscans and their civilisation in university-level teaching and research in Classical and European Archaeology. In particular, certain aspects of the relationship between the Etruscan civilisation and its Greek and Roman counterparts are reviewed; so too are modern attitudes to the Etruscans, some of which (especially in Britain) are giving cause for concern. Background My first task, and it is a very pleasant one, is to thank my fellow members of the Board of Management of the Sybille Haynes Fund for inviting me to deliver this first Sybille Haynes Lecture. I felt very honoured – but also delighted that I could actually do something, not only to salute Dr Haynes’s magnificent scholarly achievements in the Etruscan field and beyond,1 but also to express my heartfelt gratitude to her for many acts of personal and professional kindness to my late wife and myself. I am aware that my gratitude is matched by that of countless others: had he been lucky enough to know her, I feel sure that Voltaire would have said: ‘If Sybille Haynes did not exist, it would be necessary to invent her.’ * The following pages carry the text, only very slightly adjusted, of The Sybille Haynes Lecture in Etruscan and Early Italic Studies that I was privileged to deliver in the Auditorium of St John’s Col- lege, Oxford on 27 April, 2009; I have taken the opportunity to add, I hope usefully, a certain amount of annotation. -

LIVY, VEII, and ROME: AB URBE CONDITA, BOOK V by KARL
LIVY, VEII, AND ROME: AB URBE CONDITA, BOOK V by KARL AYERS (Under the Direction of James Anderson) ABSTRACT The Roman historian Livy, when writing his account of the siege of Veii, embellished many of the details with epic language and tone. By examining similarities with other epics and by contrary archaeological evidence, Livy’s narrative can be shown to be a misrepresentation of the scale and importance of the actual siege. Instead, Livy’s portrayal of events presents readers with an ulterior motive as can be seen in the actions of the main character of Book V, Camillus. The exaggerated account surrounding the siege of Veii lifts Camillus, as a character, into the realm of the epic and legendary heroes of Rome’s past. In doing so, Camillus, an historical character that carries ancient values, becomes a perfect exemplum for right and moral action in the eyes of Livy’s readers.

Early Etruscans created ritual spaces in groves and enclosures open to the sky with sacred boundaries carefully marked through ritual ceremony. Around 600 B.C.E., however, the desire to create monumental structures for the gods spread throughout Etruria, most likely as a result of Greek influence. While the desire to create temples for the gods may have been inspired by contact with Greek culture, Etruscan religious architecture was markedly different in material and design. These colorful and ornate structures typically had stone foundations but their wood, mud-brick and terracotta superstructures suffered far more from exposure to the elements. Greek temples still survive today in parts of Greece and southern Italy since they were constructed of stone and marble but Etruscan temples were built with mostly ephemeral materials and have largely vanished. The Roman temple architecture style was derived from the Etruscan model, an indigenous Italian race which was at its peak in the seventh century B.C.E. -

Carlton Bradford, Associate Professor School of Art Ellen Cook Page 2 Abstract I have used mythology of Etruscan origin and mythology favored by the Etruscans as subject matter for a group of sculpture. While the work draws only a little upon Etruscan pictorial style, with the exception of what is needed to ascertain appropriate details of costume and attributes, it strives to capture the essential content and spirit of the original. Each image is accompanied by a description of its content and historical background, in addition to a description of the broader context of Etruscan civilization. I hope to create an interest in and awareness of this relatively obscure subject matter. Artist’s Statement Though the mindset of the ancients could be utterly opposed to our own, their workings shaped our world in ways great and small. -
Religion in Republican Italy, Volume Xxxiii
This page intentionally left blank RELIGION IN REPUBLICAN ITALY This volume explores how recent findings and research provide a richer understanding of religious activities in Republican Rome and con- temporary central Italic societies, including the Etruscans, during the period of the Middle and Late Republic. While much recent research has focused on the Romanization of areas outside Italy in later peri- ods, this volume investigates religious aspects of the Romanization of the Italian peninsula itself. The chapters strive to integrate literary evidence with archaeological and epigraphic material as they consider the nexus of religion and politics in early Italy; the impact of Roman institutions and practices on Italic society; the reciprocal impact of non-Roman practices and institutions on Roman custom; and the nature of “Roman,” as opposed to “Latin,” “Italic,” or “Etruscan,” religion in the period in question. The resulting volume illuminates many facets of religious praxis in Republican Italy, while at the same time complicating the categories we use to discuss it. celia e. schultz is Assistant Professor of Classics at Yale University and has taught at the Pennsylvania State University, Bryn Mawr College, and the Johns Hopkins University.
