Caere
Caere is the Latin name given by the Romans to one of the larger cities of Southern Etruria approximately 50-60 kilometres north (NNW) of Rome. To the Etruscans it was known as "Caisa" and to the Greeks as "Agylla". It was bounded by the two rivers Mola and Manganello, and lay 80 metres above sea level on rocky Tufa, a few miles from the coast.
