Item Number: 134455 Title: La tomba dei Tori e l’ideologia funeraria degli Etruschi Author: Battaglini, Sergio Price: Not Available ISBN: 9788890219429 Description: Roma: Battaglini, 2014. 24cm., pbk., 24pp., 7 illus. Italian text. Summary: This booklet is devoted to an analysis and a spiritualistic interpretation of the paintings con-tained in the etruscan Tomb of the Bulls at Tarquinia, and concerning the myth of Troilus. Below the scene showing the ambush to him by Achilles, is here deficted a row of arboreal images that seem to illustrate, with metaphoric references, the ideological beliefs and the escha-tological expectations by the tomb's owner, whose name is given by an inscription painted inside the tomb. A description of such beliefs is here pro-posed, that may give the basis for a comparison of the funerary ideology of the Etruscans with those pertaining to the religious systems of other contemporary societies.
