Abstract
In Etruria, the tendency to the ritualization of every significant circumstance in the individual and community life is fully expressed by the choise of places to allocate to the different functions - defensive, political, sacred. Starting from the well-known example of Rome it is possible to reflect on some Etruscan contexts that lend themselves to an integrated analysis of literary sources and archaeological data, offering the opportunity to compare specific rituals of foundation of the city or its fortifications, and to investigate the significance of particular deposits related to the construction of the walls and urban gates.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
