Death in ancient Etruria

Most Attic vases have been found in Etruscan graves in Italy. Etruscans clearly were interested in the imagery on these imported Attic vases. That imagery didn't necessarily mean the same thing in Etruria that it did in Athens. It is likely to have been seen in terms of Etruscan banquets and funerary rituals.

Unfortunately, we don't know the archaeological history of this particular vase.
