Abstract
The Chimaera, the Minerva, the Ploughman, red-gloss (Arretine) ceramics, and perhaps the “Patera cospiana” (a fine Etruscan mirror)—these are famed objects from ancient Arezzo that come to mind when one considers the profile of this great Etruscan and Roman city. Our perception of the city is also influenced by Livy’s (28.45.16–17) description of the provisions donated to the fleet of Scipio by seven Etruscan populi (202 B.C.E.), according to which Arezzo made the greatest contribution: 3,000 shields, 3,000 helmets, 50,000 hand weapons, tools for 40 warships, and 120,000 pecks of wheat.
