View through CrossRef
Abstract
The Etruscan metropolis Caere, known to the Etruscans as
Cisra
(Greeks,
Agylla
; Romans,
Caere
) and today as Cerveteri, was situated on a tufa outcrop which had a commanding view of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Located 45 km northwest of Rome and 7 km from the Tyrrhenian coast, Cerveteri is famous today for the abundance of ancient Etruscan rock‐cut tombs, numbering in the thousands, located in several necropoleis, namely, the Banditaccia, Monte Abatone, Cava Della Pozzolana, and the Iron Age necropolis of Sorbo.
