Arretium

Arretium (modern‐day Arezzo) is located at an important crossroads that joins the Arno and Tiber river valleys and a corridor through the Apennine Mountains leading toward Ariminum (rimini) and the upper Adriatic region. There is evidence for the presence of man as early as the Paleolithic period; however, the earliest physical manifestations of a settlement date to the sixth century BCE . Arretium was a flourishing Etruscan and Roman center, but the physical layout of the city and many historical vicissitudes are not well known (Torelli 1980: 297–301).
