Vetulonia

Vetulonia (Etruscan: Vetluna), located in the hills near the western coast of central Italy, was an important Etruscan town from the 9th to 3rd century BCE. The site has many impressive tumulus tombs which were rich in artefacts illustrating the eclectic nature of Vetulonia's metal industry and arts in general, as well as attesting to trade relations with Egypt, Phoenicia, the Near East, and Greece.
