Description
View of the Tomb of the Bronze Statuette of the Offering Bearer unearthed in Populonia, Italy. Gordon Bugbee Collection. "Populonia is composed of a "lower city", which includes the necropolis, port remains and evidence of its important metallurgical activities; and an "upper city", or the Acropolis, which features the remains of houses, temples and other structures, located on the summit of the promontory on which the ancient port city was constructed. The lower city is well-known for its impressive monumental tombs (tumuli and aedicule-shaped tombs) of the San Cerbone necropolis, dated to the 7th-4th centuries B.C.E., an example of which is the Tomb of the Bronze Statuette of the Offering Bearer, dated to 530 - 500 B.C.E.,"--Popular Archaeology.
