21. Banditaccia necropolis from Cerveteri, Italy 7th to 2nd centuries B.C.E.

22. Banditaccia necropolis from Cerveteri, Italy 7th to 2nd centuries B.C.E. The Necropolis of Banditaccia was designed as if it were to be inhabited by living beings. From the principal thoroughfare of "Via degli Inferi", there are a number of secondary roads lined with dozens of circular burial mounds, dug in to the tuff. The interiors of the tombs are similar to those of an Etruscan house. The Tomba dei Rilievi (Tomb of the Reliefs, 3rd century BC) is by far the most decorative, its walls painted with images of domestic animals and various utensils for every day use. http://a1.l3-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/101/a9d9e7611a2e4e601ed5221ea812ef9b/l.jpg
