The Villanovan culture was the earliest Iron Age culture of central and northern Italy, abruptly following the Bronze Age Terramare culture and giving way in the 7th century BC to an increasingly orientalizing culture influenced by Greek traders, which was followed without a severe break by the Etruscan civilization. The Villanovan culture and people branched from the Urnfield culture of Central Europe.[1] The Villanovans introduced iron-working to the Italian peninsula; they practiced cremation and buried the ashes of their dead in pottery urns of distinctive double-cone shape. The name Villanovan comes from the type-site, that of the first archaeological finds relating to this advanced culture, remnants of a cemetery found near Villanova, 8 kilometers south-east of Bologna,in northern Italy.
The warrior is a 75mm scale figure produced by Alexander Miniatures, dressed by reproduction of some of the most beautiful archaeological finds of such an era.
Following, togheter with the figure, also a chart of villanovan culture area and the distribution of people in Italy when Rome was yet a village. Hope you enjoy.
