1. Title: Etruscan Splendor: A Regal Throne and Mythological Reflections This image showcases a pair of exquisite ancient artifacts from the Etruscan civilization: an Etruscan marble urn and a mirror. The urn, Urna marmorea rappresentante un trono (Marble urn representing a throne), is adorned with intricate carvings depicting a regal throne. The throne's elaborate design, complete with ornate decorations and a footrest, suggests the grandeur and power associated with Etruscan senators and consuls. The urn's round shape and the presence of a scroll at its base further emphasize its connection to the ancient world. The mirror, a testament to the Etruscans' advanced craftsmanship, is known as an Etruscan mirror or Corsi mirror, named after its discovery site. This mirror, picta (painted), features a colorful scene of mythological figures. The central figures are Eris (the goddess of discord), Menrva in helmet, Hercules with his club and lionskin, and Thetis. These figures, depicted in dynamic poses, add an element of storytelling and mythological intrigue to the mirror. The image is a hand-colored copperplate engraving by Giarre, taken from Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World, published in Florence in 1843. This historical illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the art, mythology, and fashion of the ancient Etruscan civilization.
