North Africa has yielded Etruscan and Italic finds dating to the seventh and sixth centuries BCE, which are particularly concentrated in Carthage. Carthaginians and Etruscans were both barbaroi and natural allies against the Greeks, as the literary tradition confirms. The quantity and the nature of the pottery and bronzes found here show that the Punic city had direct and intense trade relationships with Etruscan partners such as Caere. Etruscan artifacts have also been found in Greek colonies such as Cyrene and Naucratis, probably brought along the complex trade routes connecting the western and eastern Mediterranean in the Archaic period. Good relations between Carthaginians and Etruscans continued for many centuries, since in Tunisia and Algeria there are isolated finds until the second and first centuries, including inscriptions revealing the presence of Etruscans, who probably escaped from their homeland when it was conquered by Roman armies.

Abstract
North Africa has yielded Etruscan and Italic finds dating to the seventh and sixth centuries BCE, which are particularly concentrated in Carthage. Carthaginians and Etruscans were both barbaroi and natural allies against the Greeks, as the literary tradition confirms. The quantity and the nature of the pottery and bronzes found here show that the Punic city had direct and intense trade relationships with Etruscan partners such as Caere. Etruscan artifacts have also been found in Greek colonies such as Cyrene and Naucratis, probably brought along the complex trade routes connecting the western and eastern Mediterranean in the Archaic period. Good relations between Carthaginians and Etruscans continued for many centuries, since in Tunisia and Algeria there are isolated finds until the second and first centuries, including inscriptions revealing the presence of Etruscans, who probably escaped from their homeland when it was conquered by Roman armies.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
