Two Punic Stelae Rediscovered in Philadelphia
Two Punic stone stelae and a glass head-bead (of the “demonicmask” type) acquired in North Africa over a century ago have been rediscovered in the Penn Museum. Though present in some European collections, Punic stelae are relatively scarce in US museums. The stelae illustrate the funerary art of late Punic Carthage and votive practices in its so-called tophet, with one of the stelae containing the dedication of an offering by a man counting a rab…
Catalogue of Etruscan Objects in World Museum, Liverpool
One of the finest collections of Etruscan artifacts outside of Italy was begun in the 19th century by Joseph Mayer, goldsmith, of Liverpool. His donation of the collection became the core of Liverpool Museum, now World Museum, and has been augmented over the years by additional gifts and other acquisitions, such as those from the Wellcome Collection and Norwich Castle Museum. Much of the original material came from the necropolis of Vulci (Canino…

Votives, Places and Rituals in Etruscan Religion: Studies in Honor of Jean MacIntosh Turfa
Etruscans were deemed “the most religious of men” by their Roman successors and it is hardly surprising that the topic of Etruscan religion has been explored for some time now. This volume offers a contribution to the continued study of Etruscan religion and daily life, by focusing on the less explored issue of ritual. Ritual is approached through fourteen case studies, considering mortuary customs, votive rituals and other religious and daily li…
Etruscan religion at the watershed: Before and after the fourth century bce
By the beginning of the fourth century bce , the character of Etruscan religion had been established for centuries. Several generations later, though, the outward manifestations of popular belief and public cults had significantly changed, and appear (to us, in the light of surviving literary sources) to have drawn much closer to the cults of their Italic neighbors (or vice versa). Economic, social, and political forces in some ways prompted the …

Interpreting early Etruscan structures: The Question of Murlo
L'INTERPRETAZIONE DI STRUTTURE ETRUSCHE ARCAICHE: IL CASO DI MURLO L'analisi della datazione, l'estensione, la pianta e la posizione dell'edificio monumentale con cortile a Poggio Civitate (Murlo, provincia di Siena) indica la sua funzione di ‘centro commerciale in età pre-monetaria, in una regione non completamente urbanizzata. Essendo cosi visibile — una sorta di affermazione politico-economica — ed offrendo riparo e sicurezza ad un gran numero…
Swen hulls and self-defense
Evidence is mounting, with wrecks and representations of the 6th and 7th centuries BC, to suggest that Etruscan/Italian maritime traditions were different from those practiced by the Greeks. This technology affected both the design and assembly of mechant vessels, and also modes of naval armament. While some vessels of the 7th century already carried foresails others were built with a high-set, knife-like ram on the prow to counter the waterline …

The earliest foresail, on another Etruscan vase
The effect of ELF-MF on human health is still controversial, particularly as regards long-term health effects like cancer. The literature does suggest, however, that they could be involved in the occurrence of brain tumors, although results concerning residential exposure are scarce. Our objective was to investigate the association between residential proximity to power lines and brain tumors among adults in France by using a geographical informa…

LA STRUTTURA COMPARATIVA DEGLI EDIFICI MONUMENTALI GRECI ED ETRUSCHI Se esaminati da un punto di vista ingegneristico, gli edifici monumentali greci presentano sostanziali differenze con quelli di origini etrusco/italica. La tecnica greca comprendeva l'uso di imponend architravi in pietra atti a resistere al carico imposto lateralmente dai pesand tetti in tegole di terracotta. Gli Etruschi risolsero lo stesso problema grazie all'uso di travi su c…
