Tomb of the Bulls - Necropolis of Monterozzi

The Tomb of the Bulls is an Etruscan tomb in the Necropolis of Monterozzi near Tarquinia, Lazio [1]. It was discovered in 1892 and has been dated back to either 540–530 BC or 530–520 BC [1]. According to an inscription Arath Spuriana apparently commissioned the construction of the tomb [1]. It is named after the two bulls which appear on one of its frescoes [1]. It is the earliest example of a tomb with complex frescoes in the necropolis [1]. Along with the frescoes of the Tomb of the Whipping these paintings are relatively rare examples of explicit sexual scenes in Etruscan art [1].
