Thanks for the ping(s).....
PICTURES...WHERE ARE THE PICTURES??? Really this is one thing that drives me absolutely nuts. (You should see me when I really have a problem! lol) But how can anyone writing of such critical finds, not include PICTURES with the article.

What’s an Etruscan urn?
About as much as anyone else.

I think it's supposed to be 79
BC and the Dictator was the ever lovable Sulla (not
Silla), who came close to killing a minor young noble of the opposing party, named Julius Caesar. 79 AD was well into the time of the Caesars and I think was the year Vesuvius erupted and buried Pompey and Herculaneum.
But what do I know? I'm not a well paid Italian reporter.

Nice, but of all Italy’s various histories and civilizations, the Etruscans (to me) are the least appealing. And Grosetto’s probably the least Tuscan part of all Tuscany. Hope it brings tourism to the country.

According to Mary McCullough (sp?), Sulla eventually married into the Julius family but made sure the young heir became Pontifex Maximus to keep him away from military training. Obviously, his plan didn’t work.

Nope, the priesthood wasn’t his style. Julius had other plans.

Using six Roman and Etruscan coins uncovered at the home, archeologists believe the house collapsed in 79 AD during wars unleashed by Roman general and dictator, Lucio Cornelio Silla.
Lucius Cornelius Sulla died in 675 AUC, 78 BCE.
Rome was not a Republic in 79CE, it was ruled by Emperor Vespasian and then hi son Titus in 79.

I tend to agree.

That’s some feat. Before I read your post, I spent five minutes trying to kill it.
