Votives, Places and Rituals in Etruscan Religion

Details

These fourteen essays present new material and re-evaluate older evidence, archaeological, iconographic, textual and epgraphic, relating to ritual in Etruscan religion, in particular its votive aspects. Topics include the use and spread of votive offerings, the social status of offerands, textile tools as offerings, the social role of the temple, the temple itself as votive offering, the deposition of votive objects, funerary markers and sculptures, ritual behaviour and its relationship to religion, religious dress, the Liber linteus zagrabiensis as evidence foe Etruscan ritual and osteological evidence for cremation ritual.
