Religious Architecture in Latium and Etruria, c. 900-500 BC
presents the first comprehensive treatment of cult buildings in
western central Italy from the Iron Age to the Archaic Period. By
analysing the archaeological evidence for the form of early
religious buildings and their role in ancient communities, it
reconstructs a detailed history of early Latial and Etruscan
religious architecture that brings together the buildings and the
people who used them. The first part of the study examines the
processes by which religious buildings changed from huts and
shrines to monumental temples, and explores apparent differences
between these processes in Latium and Etruria. The second part
analyses the broader architectural, religious, and topographical
contexts of the first Etrusco-Italic temples alongside possible
rationales for their introduction. The result is a new and
extensive account of when, where, and why monumental cult buildings
became features of early central Italic society.
