question
ANS: Aule Metele is portrayed as a Roman magistrate. This indicated the fusion and absorption of the Etruscan population into Roman society. The Wolf represented the new republic of Rome. It was commissioned after the expulsion of the tyrant, Tarquinias Superbus. The craftsmanship was pure Etruscan as was the presentation of the defiant animal suckling the brothers, Romulus and Remus. This work was the visible example of the beginning of the fusion and merging of Etruscan society and culture into Roman society.

Both interiors are giving us glimpses into the psyche of the Etruscan mind. We see their private homes and their private celebrations. We also see how they dealt with death. Their response was celebratory rather than somber.

The cista illustrates the status of women in Etruscan society. It points to the ability of the Etruscan woman to interact within her society as an integrated member rather than as an appendage of either her husband or her father.
