This illustration that dates to around 1884 shows a sepulchral room at Caere (present-day Cerveteri), about 30 miles northwest of Rome. Caere was one of the most important and populous Etruscan city-states, in area 15 times larger than today's town, and only Tarquinia was equal in power at its height around 600 BC. Caere was also one of the cities of the Etruscan League. The area of Cerveteri is now best known for its Etruscan necropolis and archaeological treasures.
