Tomb of the Augurs
The Tomb of the Augurs (Italian ''Tomba dei Augures'') is an Etruscan burial chamber so called for by a misinterpretation of one of the fresco figures on the right wall who was thought to be a Roman priest known as an augur. The tomb is located within the Necropolis of Monterozzi and dates to around 530-520 BC. This tomb is one of the first tombs in Tarquinia to have figural decoration on all four walls of its main or only chamber.〔''A History of Roman Art'', Enhanced Edition, Wadsworth CENGAGE Learning, Boston, 2010〕 This tomb is also the first time a theme not of mythology, but instead depictions of Etruscan funerary rites and funerary games are seen.〔''The Great Centuries of Painting: Etruscan Painting'', Second Edition, The World Publishing Company, Cleveland, 1952〕
== Description ==
The chamber is decorated with a figurative frieze on all four walls. The inclusion of plants and animals in all four frescos have led scholars to interpret that the events depicted in the tomb to take place outside. 〔 Yet many of the figures depicted in the frieze, specifically those on the left and front wall, have been lost as the frescos have deteriorated over time and from exposure. The entrance wall has figures placed on it yet because of deterioration no one can say for sure who or what these figures are and the actions that they are depicting.
