Reviews
"This substantial volume [...] provides new material of interest not only to Etruscan specialists but also to those interested in the wider archeology of ritual. The papers vary widely in scope, approach and length, as well as topic, but are of a consistent quality. As a whole, the volume provides a welcome overview of the present nature of Etruscan scholarship and is a very useful addition to general scholarship on Mediterranean ritual archaeology."
