Summary
It is clear that after 600 BC Rome was the largest city in the whole of central Tyrrhenian Italy, as well one of the most active cities in the whole Mediterranean basin. Despite the scarcity of funerary contexts, we now have important evidence in terms of architecture and urbanism, as well increased evidence from inscriptions.
