According to the Etruscan tradition, the Romans used to trace the two main axes of the city-decumanus maximus and kardo maximus-by means of the shadow being cast by the first sunbeam that appeared at the physical horizon of the respective place on inauguration day.

A term frequently applied only to Jasper ware developed by Josiah Wedgwood, but which properly includes many other wares made by this factory, including Queen's ware, tortoiseshell ware, agate ware, black basaltes, Etruscan ware, rosso antico, Parian porcelain, variegated ware, cauliflower ware, Wedgwood coloured bodies, and Wedgwood lustre, all of which are closely identified with Wedgwood although they were also made elsewhere.

OBS

Wedgwood : Potier anglais. Burslem 1730 - Etruria (comté de Stafford) 1795. Après un solide apprentissage de sculpteur, il se spécialisa dans l'art de la céramique et de la porcelaine dont la vogue devait se répandre en Angleterre et en Europe tout au long de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe s. C'est en 1769 qu'il fonda sa manufacture au nom révélateur, «Etruria», autour de laquelle naquit une agglomération. La diffusion des porcelaines de Wedgwood fait de lui l'un des principaux représentants du goût qui caractérisa cette époque.

DEF

An Indo-European language of northeastern Italy, possibly belonging to the Italic branch, known from a small body of inscriptions from the 4th to 1st centuries BC. It is written either in Latin characters in a native alphabet derived from Etruscan, the Italic language of the Venetic people. It was formerly classified as Illyrian.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psycho-, socio- et ethnolinguistique
DEF

Langue indo-européenne parlée dans le nord-est de l'Italie avant l'ère chrétienne. On connaît le vénète par environ 500 courtes inscriptions, funéraires ou votives, qui s'échelonnent entre le Vième et le 1er siècle avant Jésus-Christ. Ces textes sont écrits grâce à un alphabet spécial, une adaptation d'une écriture étrusque dont l'origine est encore obscure. Certains linguistes font du vénète une langue du groupe italique alors que d'autres en font une langue indépendante rattachée au groupe illyrien.
