To interpretation of fresco erotic plots from the Etruscan Tomb of Bulls.
Keywords:
antiquity, Etruscan culture, Tarquinia, Tomb of the Bulls, fresco, eroticaAbstract
Etruscan tombs are probably the most significant source of information that we receive about the most developed civilization of pre-Roman Italy. The relevance of this study lies in the insufficient study of the problems of the sexual and family life of the Etruscans, as well as in the absence of interpretations devoted to images on the walls of necropolises (including the Monterozzi necropolis). This article reflects the above problems from the standpoint of archaic culture and the cultural level of the Etruscans. It is proved that fresco painting suggests a possible borrowing (including elements of civil law) from civilizations that bordered Etruria in the 6th BC.References
