The Etruscan city of Caere and eleven other Etruscan city-states
were among the first urban centers in ancient Italy. Roman
descriptions of Etruscan cities highlight their wealth, beauty, and
formidable defenses. Although Caere left little written historical
record outside of funerary inscriptions, its complex story can be
deciphered by analyzing surviving material culture, including
architecture, tomb paintings, temples, sanctuaries, and materials
such as terracotta, bronze, gold, and amber found in Etruscan
crafts. Studying Caere provides valuable insight not only into
Etruscan history and culture but more broadly into urbanism and the
development of urban centers across ancient Italy. Comprehensive in
scope, Caere is the first English-language book dedicated to the
study of its eponymous city. Collecting the work of an
international team of scholars, it features chapters on a wide
range of topics, such as Caere's formation and history, economy,
foreign relations, trade networks, art, funerary traditions, built
environment, religion, daily life, and rediscovery. Extensively
illustrated throughout, Caere presents new perspectives on and
analysis of not just Etruscan civilization but also the city's role
in the wider pan-Mediterranean basin.
