Etruscan tombs reflect equality

During the Orientalizing period, wealth was concentrated in the hands of a small number of individuals with hereditary transmission without distinction between the sexes. Women and men thus possessed the same riches in their funerary trousseaus. This post-mortem equality is notably observed in the Regolini-Galassi tomb in Cerveteri and in tombs 2 and 11 of the Banditella necropolis.
