Pyrgi
Pyrgi was the chief port of the Etruscan city of Caere, on the Tyrrhenian coast at modern Santa Severa, north-west of Rome. Its sanctuary held temples of the goddess Uni, where in 1964 the Pyrgi Tablets were found: gold sheets of about 500 BCE recording in Etruscan and Phoenician a dedication by Thefarie Velianas, ruler of Caere. Dionysius I of Syracuse sacked the sanctuary in 384 BCE.
