lucumonies

The lucumonies, in Maremma, are the twelve Etruscan city-states that formed their confederation. For you, this means that the archaeological sites you're going to visit aren't just ruins. They are the remains of powerful cities, with their own kings, their laws, their culture. Each lucumony had its own identity. When you stroll through Roselle or Vetulonia, you're walking in the footsteps of a centralized power, not just a village. Understanding this means grasping the complexity of Etruscan history in Maremma, well beyond the tombs.
