Trade Paperback. Condizione: Fine. Fifth Printing. 379 Pages Indexed. Very light wear, barely noticeable to cover edges. Interior text pages are near flawless. The Etruscans are one of history's more extraordinary casualties. For many centuries their communities flourished exuberantly in central Italy, only to he completely absorbed into the growing Roman state. Their power, at its height, extended well beyond their borders: they were known and feared by Romans and Greeks alike. Their arresting visual culture was second to none in the peninsula, embracing complex funerary, religious and domestic architecture, painted tomb interiors, narrative imagery, and jewellery of great refinement. Their cities grew to notable size and sophistication. In reconstructing Etruscan society this book focuses on the extremely rich archaeological data, the accounts of Greek and Roman writers, and the inscriptions on Etruscan monuments, and attempts to relate the Etruscans both to ancient Mediterranean society as a whole and to the physical landscape that sustained them. Chapters on recent findings from landscape and settlement archaeology are balanced by sections on material and visual culture, and particular care is taken to direct the reader to sites both famous and little known and to many of the local museums.…

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Small abrasions on the cover. Otherwise good and clean. - Einband leicht berieben. Sonst gut und sauber. - Introduction: This is a book about a remarkable society and the landscape that shaped and sustained it. From the eighth century bc, the Etruscan civilization flourished in Etruria, the region on the western side of central Italy bounded on the north by the Arno and on the south end east by the Tiber (fig. 1). In their heyday in the seventh and sixth centuries bc, the Etruscans were the major power in Italy and disputed the hegemony of the central and western Mediterranean with the Greeks. Greek culture profoundly affected Etruscan culture, and the Etruscans in turn had a profound effect on the early republic of Rome as it grew up on their southern boundary. Between the fourth and first centuries bc, however, the Etruscans gradually yielded their regional hegemony to Romes aggrandizing power in the face of a combination of military force and cultural assimilation. The location of the Etruscans in central Italy on Romes very doorstep, and their contemporaneity with the Greeks and early Romans, are therefore of great significance for the cultural history of the Mediterranean. This history, however, has usually been viewed almost entirely in Greek and Roman terms, and the Etruscan contribution to it is not easy to define, primarily because there are very few Etruscans about whom anything is known other than their name, so the part they played must be, for us today, a somewhat impersonal one. Etruscan archaeology, on the other hand, is very rich and varied and provides an extremely dense and complex body of data for interpretation, one that becomes denser with every year of archaeological research.

Condizione: Sehr gut. 15.5 cm x 23 cm. XII, 379 pages. Original softcover. Excellent condition with only very minor signs of external wear. [The Peoples of Europe] Includes the following chapters: Introduction / The Landscape / Origins / Sources and Society / Cultural Transformations / Settlement and Territory / Subsistence and Economy / Life, Cult and Afterlife / Romanization / Appendix: Etruscan Places - A Rough Guide. "The Etruscans are one of history's extraordinary casualties. For many centuries they flourished exuberantly in central Italy, only to be completely absorbed into the growing Roman state. Their power, at its height, extended well beyond their borders: they were known and feared by Romans and Greeks alike. Their arresting visual culture was second to none in the peninsula, embracing complex funerary and domestic architecture, tombpainting, narrative art, and jewellery of great luxury and refinement. Their cities grew to notable size and sophistication. But they wrote no connected account of themselves that survives, and so this book focuses on three types of evidence for reconstructing Roman society: the extremely rich archaeological data, the accounts of Greek and Roman writers, and the inscriptions on Etruscan monuments. Until recently there has been little effort to relate the Etruscans to ancient Mediterranean society as a whole or to the physical landscape that sustained them. This book attempts both. Included are some of the more recent findings from landscape archaeology which help to explain in what kinds of settlement the Etruscans lived, how densely the land was peopled, and how the landscape was organized for agriculture. This approach is balanced by sections on material and visual culture, where the focus is on interpretation within the specific context and setting, and even here the landscape is never far from view. The landscape, ancient and modern, figures too in what is one of the book's unique features: a description of more than sixty sites and a listing of some thirtyfive local museums in a format that is both analytical and practical." (Publisher) "Written with scholarly precision but without condescension The Etruscans deserves to be on the shelves of all those who want an uptodate overview of the subject." History Today, Volume 48, Sept 98. "As well as offering new approaches and interpretations the book presents the reader with concise summaries of, often highly contentious, recent debates." Vedia Izzet, Christ's College, Cambridge. "In an impressively comprehensive book, they weave together material from a wealth of sources, classical literature, land surveys and excavation their text providing a lesson in itself in how to recreate ancient history."
