Ancient Temple in Lazio/Roma.Proposed sacred site where Etruscans worshiped gods and burned sacred objects in their honor 3,000 years ago. Archaeologists led by have carried out excavations on the 3,200-foot summit for the past three years.
A number of materials were linked to cult fires and "clear evidence of votive offerings," Professor Andrea Cardarelli (La Sapienza University, Rome) said.
Note: Mountaintop Etruscan Site excavated
