Title: Les étrusques et la méditerranée : La cité de Cerveteri
Author: Gaultier, Francoise ; Laurent Haumesser
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9782757207628
Description: Paris: Somogy, 2013. 28cm., pbk., 652pp., 625 illus., most in color. Exhibition held at Louvre-Lens (next spring at Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome). Summary: The exhibition presents Etruscan civilisation in its Mediterranean context, through the history of one of its largest metropolises: Cerveteri. This city is the only one whose evolution we are able to retrace from its origins to the Roman conquest, and show in all its aspects: the city of the living and its necropolises, its political organisation and its relations with the East, Greece and Rome. By comparing pieces from the major historical collections for the first time with the results of archaeological excavations conducted in recent decades in the heart of the ancient city and in the surrounding area, the exhibition will be able to draw a new portrait of this great city and illustrate the prestige and position it enjoyed in ancient Italy and the Mediterranean.
