The Sarcophagus of the Spouses (Italian: Sarcofago degli Sposi) is considered one of the great masterpieces of Etruscan art.[1] The Etruscans lived in Italy between two main rivers, the Arno and the Tiber, and were in contact with the Ancient Greeks through trade, mainly during the Orientalizing and Archaic Period.[2] The Etruscans were well known for their terracotta sculptures and their funerary art, such as sarcophagi and urns.[2] This sarcophagus is a late sixth-century BCE Etruscan anthropoid sarcophagus that was found at the Banditaccia necropolis in Caereand is now located in the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia, Rome.[1][3]
