FINDSPOTS
Inscriptions in the ETP corpus are organized into searchable units based on geographical regions. For the Italian peninsula we recognize 9 regions: Aemilia, Ager Faliscus, Campania, Etruria, Latium, Lucania, Liguria, Umbria, and Venetia. These regions, with the exception of the Ager Faliscus, Campania and Lucania, correspond roughly to the territories established by the emperor Augustus at the end of the 1st century B.C.
Etruria is the major locus of Etruscan inscriptions, and for this reason is treated as the default case. If an inscription was recovered from Etruria, then it is classified according to the city from which or near which it was recovered. We recognize the following cities and territories within Etruria. They are listed below in alphabetical order:
Arretium; Ager Arretinus (Bettolle); Caere; Ager Caeretanus including Pyrgi (Castellina del Marangone, San Giuliano); Clusium; Ager Clusinus (Chianciano Terme, Sarteano); Cortona; Ager Cortonanus (Camucia); Faesulae; Ager Hortanus; Perusia; Pisa; Populonia; Rusellae; Saena; Ager Saenensis (Asciano, Murlo); Tarquinia; Ager Tarquiniensis (Axia, Blera, Graviscae, Norchia, San Giovenale, San Giuliano, Sutri, Tuscania); Veii; Ager Veiantinus; Vetulonia; Volcii; Ager Volcentanus (Cosa, Heba, Marsiliana d'Albegna, Poggio Buco, Saturnia, Sovana, Telamon); Volsiniii; Ager Volsiniensis; Volcii; Ager Vulcentanus; Volaterrae; Ager Volaterranus.
If an inscription was recovered from territory outside of Etruria, then it is classified according to the territory in which it was found. The city from which or near which the inscription was recovered is included within parentheses following the regional designation. So, for example, an inscription from Roma is classified under the geographical region Latium. The regions in which inscriptions are attested and the sites at which they are found are listed below.
Aemilia (Bologna, Felsina, Marzabotto, Placentia, Ravenna); Ager Faliscus (Capena, Corchiano, Falerii, Narce, Nepet, Rignano, Vignanello); Campania (Calatia, Cales, Capua, Eboli, Fratte di Salerno, Nola, Pompeii, Pontecagnano, Stabiae, Vico Equense); Latium (Ardea, Fidenae, Ostia, Palestrina, Roma, Satricum); Lucania (Vaglio Basilicata); Umbria (Ariminum, Iguvium, Pisaurum, Sestinum, Tuder); and Venetia (Adria, Mantua, Spina).
Outside of the Italian peninsula, inscriptions were recovered from Africa (Carthago), Corsica (Aleria), Gallia Narbonensis (Narbo) and Isola d'Elba. These inscriptions are classified in the same manner as those found in territories outside of Etruria.
Inscriptions for which it is impossible to determine the find spot are marked as Unknown. They are sub-categorized according to the type of alphabet used to compose the text: Unknown S = provenance unknown, southern variety of alphabet; Unknown N = provenance unknown, northern variety of alphabet.
