{"product_id":"cetamura-del-chianti-1","title":"Cetamura Del Chianti","description":"\u003cp\u003eExpanding the study of Etruscan habitation sites to include not only traditional cities but also smaller Etruscan communities, \u003ci\u003eCetamura del Chianti\u003c\/i\u003e examines a settlement that flourished during an exceptional time period, amid wars with the Romans in the fourth to first centuries BCE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSituated in an ideal hilltop location that was easy to defend and had access to fresh water, clay, and timber, the community never grew to the size of a city, and no known references to it survive in ancient writings; its ancient name isn’t even known. Because no cities were ever built on top of the site, excavation is unusually unimpeded. Intriguing features described in\u003ci\u003e Cetamura del Chianti\u003c\/i\u003e include an artisans’ zone with an adjoining sanctuary, which fostered the cult worship of Lur and Leinth, two relatively little known Etruscan deities, and ancient wells that reveal the cultural development and natural environment, including the vineyards and oak forests of Chianti, over a period of some six hundred years. Deeply enhancing our understanding of an intriguing economic, political, and cultural environment, this is a compelling portrait of a singular society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54191240905048,"sku":null,"price":28.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781477319932.jpg?v=1779943560","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/cetamura-del-chianti-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
