EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ancient Cloaca on the Marta" takes us back in time to the ancient Etruscan civilization. The image, an engraving by George Dennis, showcases a remarkable sewer system located on the river Marta near the town of Graviscae. The intricate details captured in this photograph highlight the advanced engineering skills of the Etruscans. The cloaca, or sewer, is a testament to their ingenuity and mastery over urban planning even during ancient times. It serves as a reminder that civilizations throughout history have always grappled with managing waste and maintaining hygiene. Dennis's work was originally published in 1848 as part of his book "The Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria" which aimed to shed light on this enigmatic civilization. This particular image offers a glimpse into everyday life in ancient Etruria, showcasing not only their architectural achievements but also their deep connection with nature through its location along the river. As we gaze upon this evocative print, we are transported back centuries ago when Graviscae thrived alongside the flowing waters of Marta. It invites us to contemplate how our modern infrastructure has evolved from these early foundations laid by ingenious civilizations like the Etruscans.
