Last time I posted Etruscan stuff, I lost a follower (presumably a member of the metropolitan Roman elite who cares naught for provinces), but I’ll risk the wrath of Etruscophobes to post this marvellous polychrome sarcophagus of Seianti Hanunia Tlesnasa who died c140BCE. 🏛️BM 📷me 🏺 AncientBlueSky

Surely an interest in the Etruscans is merely good taste!

Ooh - stunning - and I’m at the BM on Sunday🥳

Maraviglia !!!

Awsome!! 🤩🤩🤩

In their heyday, the Etruscan elite grew rich through trade with the Celtic world to the north and the Greek settlers to the south and filled their large family tombs with imported luxuries. And definitely this a masterpiece of Etruscan artwork that have survived to our days.
