Newly discovered Bronze statues of San Casciano

[@timmilk7875]

That's one of the most striking statues of Apollo that I've ever seen. Amazing discovery, thank you for the overview.

[@AncientRomeLive]

Our pleasure!

[@guidofoc7057]

Wow, the beauty of the location and the sheer amount of statues found! There is something magical about the Etruscan civilization.

[@Redhand1949]

Please comment briefly on your ability to read Etruscian! Fifty years ago, I remember reading that the Etruscian language was indecipherable, which made this People all the more "mysterious." It appears I "haven't been keeping up with current events!" Thanks as always for helping my to recaall my years in Italy, and to learn miore about this wonderful country!

[@johnnzboy]

My thought exactly - I believe that we know how the letters/words are pronounced due to the relationship to the Greek and Latin alphabets but not what these words mean.

[@AncientRomeLive]

These are translations from the excavators and experts of Etruscan. We've come a long way from the basic info in textbooks. We know a lot more - many inscriptions have been discovered in recent years. These are mostly patronymics: X son of Y vowed this... pretty formulaic..

[@ascaniosobrero]

We currently have a good understanding of Etruscan language, not only in meaning but also in pronunciation. I remember my Greek class teacher in high school being part of this effort, many years ago. We also have some "leftover" in pronouncing in the Tuscan dialect (which mostly is the chosen Italian language)

[@marcusott2973]

I believe the University of Oxford (sic) used a mainframe computer in the early 2000's, brute forcing the Etruscan language like a code.

[@petrikokko1441]

Beautiful. Imagine this wealth of finds in a minor site and what would have abounded in a major site.

[@mdsf01]

Such beauty and depth behind their culture. Amazing

[@muscledavis5434]

I've read a newspaper article when the latest discoveries were completely new. So nice to see them restored and now in the exhibition! My Bachelor thesis is killing me, but this gave me a good little break😂

[@AncientRomeLive]

Glad we could help!

This is just mind-blowing. Everybody who contributed such an oblation was a person just like us. They had a severe medical problem and hoped for salvation, or had even experienced a healing and wanted to thank their gods.

Wow I love your channel. I live in Madrid, I studied Erasmus in Rome and videos like these make me want to grab a plane and take a look around Roma. Thaaaaaanks!!

[@AncientRomeLive]

Thanks a lot- crowded here- but a lot more to see (museum-wise)

[@Materialworld4]

Thank you, I truly appreciate your marvelous exploration of a site where the Etruscan Discipline enveloped the entire surroundings. I have studied the Etruscan Discipline for almost ten years, so for me this was a visual and emotional feast. After I finish writing I will be working in Photoshop to fully restore the exquisite example of an Etruscan Fulgur Conditum you displayed for us today. It reminds me that Jupiter and Summanus were two of the nine Etruscan Gods of Thunder that the Romans adopted. Summanus's temple anniversary is June 20th, and about a year ago I created a visual feast of lightning striking his mountain sanctuary in Italy at night. It was a pleasure and honor to listen to you as you showed us all the incredible bronze statues and figurines that I have yearned to see close up for years. Having watched a small sample of your wonderful work, I want to tell you how greatly I appreciate your fine work, simply amazing. Please know that your work is treasured.

[@AncientRomeLive]

thank you!

[@llywrch7116]

These inscriptions in Etruscan are much longer & more numerous than usual, & will help provide more material for our understanding of that dead isolate language.

[@mariecolette170]

I’m so impressed by the coins I’ve never seen coins dating back to Emperors in such mint condition. I must admit I am slightly jealous of those able to bath in those natural pools it looks so peaceful, sumptuous a true sanctum sanctorum. I believe growing up in a country like Italy has so many benefits especially to ones health ❤ lucky them

Ugh i wish i could make it there! Hopefully theyll go on permanent display at some point. Reminds me of the things recovered from the spring at bath england.

[@petrapetrakoliou8979]

Fascinating, but even more puzzling how you can read Etruscan inscriptions, isn't it supposed to be an undeciphered language?

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Fascinated

[@pcelsus]

It all looks very fresh, as if the Romans were still alive) Thank you!

[@brucerussell6849]

Where will they go after the exhibition closes?

[@AncientRomeLive]

The plan is to create a local museum at San Casciano dei Bagni. It will take some time. The excavation is still in full swing. It is a process to select the land, fund the project- but surely it will happen!

[@celsotrio]

amazing! tks.

Just to note that the Fondazione Friends of Florence, a US based non profit organization, is of paramount relevance in supporting arts and culture not only in Florence, as in this case. But especially in Florence is really making things happen with supporting the Uffizi.

[@Livvvid]

Considering the etrsucans were centuries before the romans, its jaw dropping how increadible their written language/art was. I'm not sure why but I always looked at them as more primative for some reason. The romans conquered them so completely that I believe all the things they adopted from the etruscans were attributed to the romans but discoveries like this are clear evidence that the etruscans had an amazing culture/civilization before the romans.

[@lucianolandi7307]

Point is that in this location, they found both etruscan and latin inscriptions, from the same period. This means the 2 cultures were alive both at the same time. There is no sharp cut between the romans and the etruscans, the ones just absorbed the others and they were alive at the same time.

[@AncientRomeLive]

Yes, they coexisted from the beginning. Some of Rome's kings were Etruscan, as well. In the end, though, the expansion of Rome's territory led them into direct conflict. Rome's conquest didn't mean the immediate demise of the Etruscan culture, but if you take a look at the entire peninsula, Rome's dominance led to the extinction of most of the other native Italic languages.

When it comes to ancient Rome, all I can think about is what were the reasons for their rapid degradation? In just 200 years, they have slipped from absolute heights into absolute nothingness. There must be some patterns. Could this happen to us too in the near future?

is this video mirrored? that "etruscan" looks backwards

[@llywrch7116]

Etruscan was often written right-to-left, as were the earliest Roman inscriptions. I believe it was Greek influence that led to Latin -- & related languages -- to be written left-to-right.

Saying in Latin that Jesus is a real god while Jove is a false god is childish thinking, isn’t it. I can’t imagine a sound argument to convince me that one is more true than the other. Safest to conclude they are both false gods, surely. And that there are no gods. @@OptimusPrinceps_Augustus
