EARLY ITALIAN FAMILIES
Toward the end of the eighth century, some families in the coastal regions of Etruria, Latium, and Campania began to demonstrate that they possessed wealth,status, and power on a scale far greater than others in their communities had attained. These emerging elite families, like many others in the Mediterranean world at the time, sought to distinguish themselves from others in their communities through a distinctive way of life with the appropriate personal ornaments, weapons, and other marks of status. Many of the objects, and the imagery of wealth and power associated with them, had their origins in Greece and the Near East, where they were used in a similar fashion by leading social groups.
Tombs provide the earliest signs of these families and their pretensions. In the eighth century, tombs with rich deposits of grave goods become more common: At Gabii, some tombs of the mid-eighth century are markedly richer than others, and a few exceptionally rich tombs contain chariots. By the end of the century, powerful families proclaimed their position in their town or village in the so-called “princely” burials. These new princely burials emphasize families and their place in their communities.
The builders of many of the new tombs con¬structed them so that they could receive multiple burials over the years, a sign that each was intended to be the burial site of a family or a lineage. Grave goods reveal a broad concern among the elite for conspicuous displays of wealth and status—and the willingness to expend much wealth in pursuit of these ends. Tombs and burials, after all, are arranged by the survivors, and in them the kin of the deceased can make clear statements about the social position they think that the dead occupied in life—not to mention the position which the survivors them¬selves wish to be seen as maintaining. Families often placed their tombs along the main roads into the settlement, where they could be seen and admired by others. Tombs and their contents, then, would have proclaimed to passersby the wealth and status of those interred within, and of their families as well.
