RF2BE5DTE–This illustration shows an amphora from Caere (present-day Cerveteri), about 30 miles northwest of Rome, with the scene representing a sacrifice. An amphora is a tall ancient Greek or Roman jar with two handles and a narrow neck. The Etruscan civilization flourished, mostly in northern Itlay, before the rise of Rome. The Etruscans flourished in central Italy from the 8th to 3rd century BCE, and one of their greatest legacies is the beautifully painted tombs found in many of their important towns. Tarquinia, Cerveteri, Chiusi, and Vulci, in particular, possess tombs with outstanding wall painti

His style is distinctive because he gives the impression of painting his subjects with glaze, now more tightly, often quite loosely. Though he uses incised lines for articu

Three felines and a winged hybrid Vases of the same elongated shape and with similar painted decoration have been found in the Monte Michele cemetery at Veii, just north of Rome. The type represents a local response to the animals painted on Protocorinthian pottery imported from Greece.
