Description

eng The dynamics of urban transformations in Italy across the first millennium BCE is one of the most interesting research topics in classical archaeology because it concerns the emergence of complex societies in the Iron Age (early 1st millennium BCE), their evolution into city-states (the Etruscan and a few other pre-Roman societies), and finally, their transformation into Roman settlements. The urban changes of the Etruscan city to the Roman presumably involved radical political and social changes, but the first years of Duke’s excavation support the idea that this transformation was a slow process, with extensive reuse of architectural material and large overlapping of buildings’ foundations.
