Reputed to be the richest city of Etruria, Veii was one of the most
important cities in the ancient Mediterranean world. It was located
ten miles northwest of Rome, and the two cities were alternately
allied and at war for over three hundred years until Veii fell to
Rome in 396 BCE, although the city continued to be inhabited until
the Middle Ages. Rediscovered in the seventeenth century, Veii has
undergone the longest continuous excavation of any of the Etruscan
cities. The most complete volume on the city in English, Veii
presents the research and interpretations of multiple generations
of Etruscan scholars who are at the forefront of the discipline.
Their essays are grouped into four parts. The first provides a
general overview of archaeological excavation at Veii and discusses
the different types of methodologies employed over the years. The
second part narrates the history of Etruscan occupation of the city
and its role in the greater Mediterranean world. The third section
examines the surviving material culture of Veii, including pottery,
painting, sculpture, metalworking, and architectural terracottas.
Finally, the legacy of Veii is discussed, and a chronology of the
site is presented. This pioneering research offers all students of
the ancient Mediterranean a new understanding of the development of
Veii and its territory from the late Bronze Age to the Roman
conquest, as well as of the interactions of Veii with nearby sites
and territories in central Tyrrhenian Italy.
