This short paper presents some intaglios from several Orientalising Etruscan and Italic sites. In the first part of the paper, the author illustrates some that are of undoubted Aegean origin (Terni, Veii, Chiavari). These materials are exceptional in comparison to other Greek and Oriental artifacts that are more frequently found in the Italian peninsula. As such, they can contribute to shed light on the dynamics of the circulation of luxury goods in the Mediterranean. Some of the intaglios show evidence that their circulation was strictly linked to the mobility of people, notably an inscribed gem from Perachora, which probably went on a round trip of sorts. In the second part, the author examines some rather puzzling items, which can be regarded as local products with a generic Levantine influence. Finally, he briefly examines some finds from Greek contexts (Euboea in particular) showing a possible Etruscan influence.

Abstract
This short paper presents some intaglios from several Orientalising Etruscan and Italic sites. In the first part of the paper, the author illustrates some that are of undoubted Aegean origin (Terni, Veii, Chiavari). These materials are exceptional in comparison to other Greek and Oriental artifacts that are more frequently found in the Italian peninsula. As such, they can contribute to shed light on the dynamics of the circulation of luxury goods in the Mediterranean. Some of the intaglios show evidence that their circulation was strictly linked to the mobility of people, notably an inscribed gem from Perachora, which probably went on a round trip of sorts. In the second part, the author examines some rather puzzling items, which can be regarded as local products with a generic Levantine influence. Finally, he briefly examines some finds from Greek contexts (Euboea in particular) showing a possible Etruscan influence.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
