Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

A sacred grove dedicated to Aita, the Etruscan god of the underworld, located on the outskirts of the city. This tranquil space serves as a site for rituals honoring ancestors and seeking protection from adversities. The grove reflects the Etruscan reverence for nature and the spiritual life of Tarquinii’s residents.

A serene grove filled with ancient trees, their leaves whispering in the gentle breeze, dappled sunlight filtering through the branches, and an altar adorned with offerings at the center, surrounded by vibrant flowers in shades of purple and gold, under a soft blue sky.
