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 and set precedents for the great
temples of republican Rome.
