As cities started to come together in early first millennium BCE Etruria and Latium, their
inhabitants encountered a new issue that they never had to face before: where to place some
key new elements around the settlement. Graveyards, fortifications and cult places, for
instance, were elements that had newly become communal to the whole settlement. There
was an unprecedented need to decide how to make those spatial allocations. The paper
explores the available evidence and poses some connected theoretical questions.
