Produktbeschreibung
The incredible legacy of the ancient Greeks and regal Romans is well established, whether in government, art, science, or administration, the indelible mark of the Greeks and Romans is stamped permanently on modern culture. But who influenced them? From approximately 1100 BC to 400 BC, a strong culture of warriors, clerics, and craftsmen, Etruscan civilization was dominant in the Mediterranean region. Located in modern Italy, Eturia was well positioned to engage other cultures in trade or war. The Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria by George Dennis is a detailed account of some of points of historical interest. As Etruscan´s did not leave written documents and only a handful of artifacts remain, these sites are among the few relics of this proud civilization. Dennis goes above and beyond in his account, however, taking the reader on a metaphorical journey through the ancient land of Etruria, "Soon after leaving Santa Sevrera, on the way to the Holy City, the traveler will espy before him a small village with one prominent building sparkling in the sun, at the foot of the hills which rise inland, dark with wood." Dennis describes the buildings, landmarks, and people so intricately it´s as though he himself lived among the Etruscans. Whether you´re a reader who loves to learn about ancient cultures and civilizations, or you want to escape into another time and another landscape , The Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria is for you! Page upon page of nuanced description coupled with illustrations and maps create a scene that is simultaneously magical and incredibly educational. Don´t miss the chance to discover this missing link in the history of cultural development. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
